Journey with Poulenc Trio through the sounds of ragtime.

Ragtime continues to influence composers across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from André Previn to Viet Cuong. Discover how this revolutionary art form, rooted in African American musical innovation, transformed the trajectory of American music.
