Phillip Dyson. All the way from England, this accomplished pianist will take you on a musical journey from Chopin and Brahms to Scott Joplin, Fats Waller, and George Gershwin. “Dyson’s performance brought a standing ovation. In addition to his sparkling piano style, he exhibits a coy, very British sense of humour as understated as one of those cucumber sandwiches served at high tea and he has a comic timing worthy of Jack Benny.” Sacramento Ragtime Society
