This piano virtuoso will astound you!  Adam G. Swanson will play music from the days when the railroad was king, including songs about rails, roads and ragtime.  Although classically trained, Mr. Swanson is a four time world champion in ragtime competition, and the bulk of his February performance will include music from the ragtime and early jazz eras.
