PIANIST RICHARD DOWLING: GREAT SCOTT! A JOPLIN CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

PIANIST RICHARD DOWLING: GREAT SCOTT! A JOPLIN CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

Richard Dowling’s Great Scott! piano concert features the beloved Scott Joplin piano works used in the 1973 Academy-Award-winning movie The Sting, (including The Entertainer) plus many other dazzling, delightful, and rarely-heard works of Joplin. The program features anAudience Choice selection –– a Joplin work randomly selected by an audience member from the remaining complete Joplin piano repertoire (53 rags, waltzes, marches and cakewalks).

Richard Dowling is the first pianist in the world to perform all of Scott Joplin’s piano works in public. On April 1, 2017 –– exactly 100 years to the day that Joplin died in New York City –– Mr. Dowling performed the complete Joplin cycle in two historic sold-out recitals at Carnegie Hall in New York. Rivermont Records recently released Mr. Dowling’s 3-CD definitive set of The Complete Piano Works of Scott Joplin, recorded on a magnificent Hamburg Steinway concert grand piano.

"Richard Dowling is an especially impressive fine pianist." – New York Times

"Dowling is a musician with something to say, the skill to say it and magnetic power to make you want to listen. It wasn’t just music – it was theater, story-telling of the best sort." – San Antonio Express-News

"Dowling's efficient technique was unfailingly musical and even the most daunting technical passages were transformed into objects of beauty. He had something personal to say and impressed with impeccable control of colours and textures. He received a standing ovation and left the audience craving more." – Singapore Business Times
