Pianist Roy Eaton on TV in Manhattan April 26, 9:30 pm


The African American classical pianist Roy F. Eaton, RoyEaton.net, is well known for performing and recording the works of the African American ragtime and classical composer Scott Joplin, and for interpreting the piano works of other composers, including Chopin and William Grant Still. Roy Eaton tells AfriClassical he will be appearing on the program “Active Aging” Saturday, April 26, 2008 at 9:00 PM. It can be seen on the Manhattan Neighborhood Network, Time Warner Cable Channel 34 abd RCN Cable Channel 83. The website is MNN.org

Shirley Joel, program host, adds: “Our programs focus on vibrant older people, who are doing interesting and productive activities although past the typical age of retirement. They feature individuals like Roy (having revived a career as a concert pianist despite a hiatus of 50 years)...who help dispell the myth and counter the image that all older people are sick or non-productive, and prove that there is a second and even third act in life.”
