Paragon Ragtime Orchestra at the Fischer Theatre
2024-03-15 19:30 - 21:30 | Fischer Theatre, 158 N. Vermilion St., Danville, IL, 61832, United States
The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra presents a silent film event featuring comedy films by Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd with their original orchestral scores at the historic 1884 Fischer Theatre. This performance will be hosted and conducted by Rick Benjamin.

The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra is the world’s only year-round, professional ensemble re-creating “America’s Original Music” – the syncopated sounds of early musical theater, silent cinema, and vintage dance.

In addition to its worldwide concert hall, university, and festival appearances, the PRO has acquired a considerable following both here and abroad through its radio programs on the New York Times’ WQXR, National Public Radio (All Things Considered, Performance Today and others), the British Broadcasting Corporation, and the Voice of America networks. Since 1989 the Walt Disney Company has relied on the Orchestra’s recordings for the outdoor “area music” heard at Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris; the PRO strengthened its international following during its extended engagement as a U.S. Ambassador of Goodwill at the 1992 World’s Universal Exposition in Seville, Spain.

All single tickets under $20
All single student tickets are $10
