The
Ragtime and Classical Music Composer Scott Joplin (c.1867-1917) is
featured at AfriClassical.com. On
Feb. 25, 2012 AfriClassical posted: “John Malveaux: WWFM & NPR
Air Paragon Ragtime Orchestra's CD 'Scott Joplin Treemonisha' 3-6 PM
Eastern, Feb. 26.” Today John Malveaux posted a comment which we
feel deserves to be a post on the blog:
“The 100th
anniversary radio/internet broadcast on WWFM Classical Network's
'Sunday Opera' program of the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra's Scott
Joplin's TREEMONISHA opera featuring Anita Johnson was truly a
milestone and encouragement for greater participation in Opera.”
