South Berkshire Concert Series

Silks and Rags: Ragtime, Marches, and Popular Dance Music of the Early 20th Century. Classical virtuosi Kenneth Cooper, piano, and Allan Dean, trumpet, with guest clarinet and tuba, offer exuberant and spontaneous performances of a joyful repertory, partly well-known and partly forgotten, including music of Scott Joplin and novelty pieces such as the "Papageno Polka." A unique evening of high-spirited and superb music-making. McConnell Theater, Daniel Arts Center. 8 p.m.
