About this event

For the 11th consecutive year, the Charles H. Templeton Ragtime and Jazz Festival is bringing the spirit of the late 19th and early 20th centuries to Mississippi State University’s Mitchell Memorial Library March 30-April 1. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. Held in the main theater at McComas Hall, this evening concert will feature Brian Holland, an internationally renowned pianist, composer, recording artist and entertainer who has enjoyed a music career spanning more than 35 years; Jeff Barnhart, an internationally renowned pianist, vocalist, arranger, bandleader, recording artist, composer, educator and entertainer who began his professional career at age 14 in his home state of Connecticut; and Dan Levinson’s Roof Garden Jass Band, the only band in existence devoted exclusively to the neglected era in musical history—roughly 1917 to 1923—when ragtime was transitioning into jazz. Tickets are $10 each for the evening concert, with lesser fees for senior citizens and retired MSU faculty and staff members. MSU students with current identification cards attend free.
