Ragtime with Reginald Robinson

This is a  free community concert sponsored by the Senior Outreach and Music Ministries of Community UMC. Elevator accessible and hearing loop available. A thank-offering will support this and future Sunday musicales.

Reginald Robinson’s music has been used in theater and film; including The Goodman Theater’s 1995 production of Each One As She May, Intimate Apparel – a play in 2003, Compensation – an independent film in 2000, and he served as a contributing historian for the 2010 documentary Chicago’s Black Metropolis. In 2004, he was awarded the rare and distinguished John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Award for his innovative ragtime piano works and music research.

In addition to concertizing, Robinson is internationally known for his lectures at colleges and universities, which have aided in preserving the legacy of African American history.
