Happy birthday, Scott Joplin! To celebrate the King of Ragtime (born #onthisday in 1868), we're thrilled to premiere our new THREE-piano music video: "Maple Leaf Rag Fantasy," starring the winner of Portland Piano International's youth competition, 10-year-old Killian Page! Even though we were physically separated in three different cities across the US, creating this video turned out to be one of the most uplifting activities we've engaged in during this period of isolation. And we'll never forget the wonder in Killian's face when we revealed the video to him for the first time! Amidst the many difficulties of 2020, we’re feeling extra grateful for the gifts of music, creativity, connection, joy, and all of you.
For those of you interested in recreating the fun at home, you can find the sheet music here.
