The UIC AACC is
sponsoring a Closing Reception, a Victorian Costume Party (costume
optional) for our latest exhibition, "The Reason Why the Colored
American Is Not Included in the World's Columbian Exposition." As part
of the closing reception, pianist Reginald Robinson will be performing
ragtime renditions in honor of Scott Joplin and the African-American
presence at the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 that was held here
in Chicago.
The
reception will take place at the UIC AACC from 5:30-7:30pm. I have
attached a flyer for your perusal. As you may or may not know Mr.
Robinson is an African-American composer, jazz pianist, educator,
performing and studio recording artist who is widely known for his
ragtime compositions. In 2004 he received a MacArthur Genius Grant.
