Composer Spotlight: Scott Joplin

When you hear the name, Scott Joplin Chamber Orchestra, you might wonder who was Scott Joplin and why is our Orchestra named after him?

Known as the king of ragtime Scott Joplin transformed American music through his innovative, compositions blending African-American musical traditions with classical forms, his work help pave the way for future genres like jazz while proving that black composers belonged on the concert stage at CMCH the Scott Joplin Chamber Orchestra honors his legacy by celebrating black musical excellence and sharing the power of music through performance education and community. His story reminds us that music has power to inspire preserved culture and connect generations.
