Ragtime and Beyond: Featuring Music from Scott Joplin to Billy Joel

Ragtime and Beyond takes you on a vibrant journey through over a century of American music—from Scott Joplin’s syncopated ragtime to early jazz, swing, and Billy Joel’s storytelling brilliance. With dazzling piano solos, crowd-pleasing vocals, and timeless hits, this high-energy concert will have you tapping, clapping, and singing along.
Featuring acclaimed ragtime pianist Brian Holland, this ticketed concert is the second part of Natchez Festival of Music’s “ragtime weekend” which starts with a free lecture at 10:00 a.m. on the same day and at the same location.
