Event Date
Saturday, February 28, 2026 - 10:30 pmDuring the month of February, the Rockport Public Library has featured an exhibit highlighting groundbreaking black American composer Scott Joplin, whose ragtime music paved the way for jazz, according to RPL, in a news release. Material in the exhibit was sourced from author/illustrator Stephen Costanza’s book King of Ragtime: The Story of Scott Joplin.
On Saturday, Feb. 28, at 10:30 a.m., Constanza (along with a couple of surprise musical guests) will present a multimedia event entitled, "A Scott Joplin Celebration!" With a mix of live music, storytelling, and an animated slideshow, Costanza will introduce families to Scott Joplin and provide a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to create a picture book.
Books and art prints will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
