Ophelia Ragtime Orchestra
Ophelia Orchestra – ten white tie and tails clad musicians who play; ragtime, cake-walk, early jazz, brazilian tangos and foxtrots, all from between the turn of the last century and the early 1940s, in their original, or authentically crafted newer arrangements. Ragtime specialist Morten Gunnar Larsen, Ophelia Orchestra’s leader, has researched in old music collections from New Orleans to Ringvemuseum in Trondheim, and has collected a mass of original material. Central in the orchestra’s repertoire are composers like Scott Joplin, Eubie Blake, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Kurt Weill.
