    The Pacific Coast Ragtime Orchestra, organized in 1980, is a group of about ten musicians dedicated to playing and preserving turn-of-the-century ragtime music. They have made several recordings, which are available for purchase. The band’s repertoire reflects the cares and celebrations of a gentler time. Along with classics such as The Entertainer and Maple Leaf Rag, they play such nostalgic obscurities as Au Revoir but Not Goodbye, Soldier Boy, and Vampire Gallop. Composers represented include Scott Joplin, Joseph Lamb, Eubie Blake, James Scott, Percy Weinrich, Irving Berlin and others.

    A favorite of dancers and concertgoers, the Orchestra performs annually at the West Coast Ragtime Festival and regularly holds tea dances at Casa de Flores in San Carlos. It has performed at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, and has been the featured orchestra three times at the prestigious International Scott Joplin Festival in Sedalia, Missouri.

    The group’s wind section, the Smalltimers, plays traditional ragtime as well as the music of contemporary composers writing in the ragtime style. With unique arrangements, this quintet performs music spanning the turns of two centuries.
