Woodstock, Marengo, and Union, Illinois

NOTICE!

It's early. Most of the festival has yet to be planned, including the locations of special events and the performers list. Here's the good news: All of the 1998 performers and presenters have been invited back. Also, the two evening concerts on Friday and Saturday will still be held at the Woodstock Opera House, and again will honor Egbert Van Alstyne and the Chicago Ragtime scene. We will offer at least 3 symposia, a luncheon and a number of free events. A Sunday concert is being planned, but no details are available at this time. Everything else is subject to change (standard disclaimers apply).

Invited Artists:

Mike Montgomery
Elite Syncopators
Etcetera String Band

These artists have already accepted!

"Ragtime Bob" Darch
