     On Saturday, July 19, 2008, the Bitterroot Valley Ragtime Society is honored to host ragtime pianist Larisa Migachyov.  This will be Larisa's debut performance.   Yes, her very first solo concert and the BVRS is delighted that Larisa has chosen us for her first ever solo concert! 

     Larisa Migachyov was born in Russia and started piano lessons at the age of 5.  Despite having played classical piano for most of her conscious existence, she discovered ragtime only about 3 years ago, when she saw a flyer in a supermarket advertising the San Antonio Ragtime Society.  In 2006, she first attended the Scott Joplin Festival in Sedalia, MO, and premiered her first composition, the Purple Chicken Rag.  Since then, she has also performed at the Eau Claire Ragtime Festival, the San Antonio Ragtime Festival (which she also helped organize), and the Lake Superior Ragtime Festival.  Her first CD, "A Heap of Rags", came out in 2007.  Larisa's compositions and recordings are available at her website, www.larisamigachyov.com.

     On June 27, 2007, we fondly recall that Virginia Tichenor and Marty Eggers wowed the local audience for the 2^nd Bitterroot Valley Ragtime Society-hosted concert held at the Corvallis UM Church.  We’re very excited to announce that Tichenor and Eggers will return to Montana in the fall of 2008 for another performance in the Bitterroot Valley before they head up to Kalispell for the Glacier Stampede, the annual jazz fest held in Kalispell the first weekend of October.

      We’ll look forward to another exiting 2-piano extravaganza, along with Marty on stand-up bass (maybe he’ll have his tuba with him as well!), Virginia doing some drumming and as always, an exciting selection of classic ragtime, folk rags and early jazz combined with some blues tunes.
