Grammy-nominated pianist John Novacek brings his deep inside knowledge of ragtime to Guarneri Hall for a solo performance that celebrates this uniquely American style. Syncopated America features wonderfully informed performances of classic rags by Scott Joplin, Joseph Lamb, James Scott and others alongside some of Mr. Novacek’s own compositions. Some are incredibly touching, others raucous fun. It’s good old Americana delivered with all the panache, style, and good humor that one could wish for.
