WHAT:
Program: Baker & Baker presents Main Street Souvenirs with Scott Kirby
Pianist, composer, and visual artist Scott Kirby brings to life the music of the American heartland in this multimedia performance. Exploring the history and vision of small-town American life, Kirby deftly weaves together live piano music and spoken narrative, both accompanied throughout by a video presentation consisting of his original artwork, video footage, photography, and archival materials. The highly original performance features 150 years of music from such celebrated artists as Scott Joplin, Stephen Foster, and John Philip Sousa as well as Kirby’s own composition.
Kirby has been called one of the best interpreters of ragtime on the scene today. He served as musical director of the Scott Joplin Ragtime Festival in Sedalia, Montana, and of the Rocky Mountain Ragtime and American Music Festival in Boulder, Colorado, as well as director of the San Juan Islands Ragtime Institute.
