This June 25th celebration marking the 14th anniversary of the Museum’s opening in 2008 will be the first event held in the historic Murphy Auditorium since the Museum acquired it in early 2022.
Reginald Robinson, a 2004 winner of the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Award for his innovative ragtime piano works and music research, will play a program that will include selections drawn from his critically renowned album of piano solos, “Man Out of Time.” After a brief intermission, the Museum will show the 1916 Charlie Chaplin short comedic silent film, The Rink, with Robinson accompanying on piano. The icing on the cake? A vintage car from the Richard H. Driehaus Collection on view to transport you back to the 1920s. Doors open at 5:00 pm and the event is expected to run from 5:30 pm until 6:30 pm. Admission to the Museum that day is included in the ticket price.
**Members, please register via Member-only Reception event.
Robinson is celebrating 30 years as a professional musician and the 20th anniversary of his record, “Man Out of Time,” which will be available for sale at the performance. You can read more about Robinson here.
