FOXBURG, Pa. (EYT) — Begin your Thanksgiving holiday in Lincoln Hall with the exuberantly joyous Ragtime music of the eight-piece Allegheny City Ragtime Orchestra.

Led by world renowned stride pianist, accomplished composer, and musical archaeologist Tom Roberts, Allegheny City Ragtime Orchestra will play at Lincoln Hall on Sunday, November 24, at 2:00 p.m.

Tom will reintroduce audiences to the forgotten ragtime composers of Pittsburgh, sharing an extraordinary trove of hidden musical gems he has unearthed. In this unique concert, The Allegheny City Ragtime Orchestra will perform compositions from the original orchestrations of the great composers of the ragtime era including Scott Joplin, James Scott, Joseph Lamb and Tom Turpin.

The concert also will honor the memory of the late Patricia Ann Steffee, long time Board member and ARCA founder, who was a great fan and friend of Tom Roberts. This concert is lovingly sponsored by a generous gift in memory of Patricia from Ronald and Judith Montgomery.

Tickets are $25.00 for adults, $20.00 for members, and $5.00 for students. Tickets may be purchased online at alleghenyriverstone.org or to reserve tickets, call 724 659-3153.
