Hi and happy September ragtimers!
Hope you’ve all been having a good summer. We’ve got four performances scheduled for the coming months that we’d like to know about. Two are OCRS musicales and two are concerts at the Nixon Presidential Library.
Our OCRS dates are Saturday, September 16 and Saturday, October 21. Both are at the Half-Off bookstore. Our Nixon Library dates are January 7 and March 10, 2024.
All four of these performances start at 2 p.m. The musicales at the bookstore are from 2 to 5 p.m. and the special concerts are from 2 to 3 p.m.
In case you need the locations, Half Off Books and Records is at 141 W. Wilshire Ave., Suite A in downtown Fullerton. The Nixon Library is at 18001 Yorba Linda Blvd. in Yorba Linda.
OCRS is, as you know, essentially an “open piano” format wherein anyone with the ability to play ragtime piano (or on other instruments) is welcome to perform. The pianist slates for the 2024 concerts are still being formulated, but we’ll announce those asap.
All of these performances are free of charge to the public. Parking is also free.
In case you hadn’t seen the writeups of our two most recent performances, you can follow the links below. The first is for our July 9 show at Nixon Library. The second is for our most recent OCRS on July 29 at Half Off Books.
