Our OCRS events are FREE to the public. Please feel free to pass this along to anyone you know who loves this kind of music and has missed having it all this time. No RSVP is required – just be there if you can, and if not, stay tuned for more posts about future upcoming performances.

Since summer 2022, we've had more than two dozen OCRS musicales, and to say they've been remarkable would be to understate. The latest was in June 2025. Our most recent Nixon Library show was on January 12, 2025. Click the links below to read about the events of '24 and to get the details of some extraordinary musical events!

A word about RagFest: Along the way, some of you have inquired about RagFest. Nothing is scheduled yet, but we continue to work on paving the way for our next festival, and we'll be sure to get the word out as soon as circumstances allow a reboot of this annual event.

Here's OCRS stalwart Bob Pinsker spreading the ragtime (and Eubie Blake) word at a public piano at SAN airport last summer: Bob Pinsker plays Eubie Blake's Baltimore Todolo on a public piano
