Classic Ragtime Society Mission

The Society's primary purpose is to promote and keep alive, through education and live performance, an appreciation of the wonderful world of classic ragtime music, circa 1890-1920. Our headquarters are in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Heading the list of composers of that era are Scott Joplin, James Scott, and Joseph Lamb. There are, of course, many other noted composers from that period, as well as many fine composers of contemporary ragtime music. Musicians are currently performing ragtime music at various festivals and concerts throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Our Society is recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We depend on membership fees, festival and special concert ticket sales, and contributions from people who appreciate ragtime music and wish to help preserve it.
