How is a baroque bass line similar to a “walking bass” line in Ragtime, modern Jazz, or
Bluegrass? How do contemporary composers use classical traditions to provide
excitement, structure, and innovation? This one hour program for listeners ages two to
102 explores such questions in a fun way. From Joplin to Bolling and Gershwin and
more, this is a program designed to delight and inspire. Come meet the performers --
