Event Description: Oceanside’s Sunshine Brooks Theatre presents Eric Marchese in Ragtime Piano Concert at 8:00 PM, August 29, 2009, 217 North Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA. Tickets $15.00, available on-line at www.sunshinebrookstheatre.org or Call our box office at 760-529-9140. Marchese’s performance will feature many of the outstanding ragtime pieces from the year 1909, including all six of Scott Joplin’s outstanding compositions from that year as well as the rags of such composers as James Scott, Joseph Lamb, Charles L. Johnson, Tom Turpin, May Aufderheide and more. The special-event performance is a benefit for the Sunshine Brooks Theatre. Marchese promises to use the evening to provide audiences with a historical survey of ragtime music covering many regions and styles of this beloved American musical form, which boomed between the 1890s and the late 1910s. His fun-filled program will include such pieces as “Bowery Buck”, “That Poker Rag”, “Apple Jack”, “Grace and Beauty”, “Euphonic Sounds”, “Meet Me To-Night in Dreamland” and “Solace – A Mexican Serenade.” A prolific ragtime composer, Marchese will also feature some of his own works.
