Enjoy a musical adventure when Barron Ryan comes to Crookston this Friday, March 25th, at the Crookston High School Auditorium. His piano style combines vintage and fresh, historical and hip, and classic but cool.
Barron Ryan grew up with parents who are musicians, enjoying a variety of styles from Mozart to Michael Jackson in his home. His father started teaching him piano when Barron was the age of four. His love of music continued throughout adolescence and into a major in piano performance at the University of Oklahoma.
After becoming disheartened by rejection from many music conservatories, Barron briefly gave up piano to pursue a career in hip-hop. But upon winning a piano competition which sent the winner to perform a tour in Israel, Barron found his new focus. He discovered the joy of jazz–and ragtime–inspired concert music.
Barron Ryan will be sharing his talents Friday, March 25, 2022, at 7 p.m. at the Crookston High School Auditorium. See how Classic Meets Cool through his program of Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer” to Debussy’s “Claire de Lune” and Chopin’s “Fantasie Impromptu.”
Members of the Crookston Civic Music League are in for an interesting blend of great music.
