Classic rags, symphonic parodies, novelty numbers, Tin Pan Alley tunes, Rick Benjamin’s historical & witty introductions, and accompanied silent film make for a unique, varied event! 

With hundreds of concerts at venues such as Lincoln Center and the Ravinia Festival, and with a collection of thousands of 1900’s pieces in full orchestrations of the era, the PRO is the acknowledged leader in its field.

The program features "Scott Joplin and the Original Kings of Ragtime," and a portion of a Charlie Chaplin silent movie.
