Who We Are:
Sedalia Ragtime Orchestra is Rags, Marches, and Waltzes from the Ragtime Era
The Sedalia Ragtime Orchestra plays Ragtime: music from the 1890's through 1917 in authentic ragtime style. Named after Sedalia Missouri - recognized as the birthplace of ragtime music, Sedalia Ragtime Orchestra strives to recreate the ragime era through our music and performance. We are made up of Southern California musicians with a variety of "Day Gigs" who won't let little things like work get in the way of great music.
If you are after that turn-of-the-century feel we are available for your event.
Listen to a sample:
King Cotton march.
Recorded at a rehearsal in October 2006. More songs on our Song List page.
Thanks to the Great Audience at the Old Town Music Hall
The Sedalia Ragtime Orchestra returned to the Old Town Music Hall for a June 7 performance where we played more authentic ragtime with featured vocals by Irene Silbbert and Ned Bartles and piano and banjo solos by Cory Edelman. Flute and Piccolo player Cary Ginell supplied background of the era and the music from his wealth of knowledge in musicology.
Performance at the Old Town Music Hall in El-Segundo
The Old Town Music Hall is a neat old building half packed with antique organ equipment, lots of stained glass and other very unique decorations. The acoustics were great and we had a fabulous time playing ragtime along with guest vocalist Ian Whitcomb.
Thanks to Bill and company at the OTMH for their wonderful hosting and preservation of old time music and movies. If anyone has a picture of us playing inside please email webmaster at sedaliaragtime.com. I would love to add one to the site.
Temple Etz Chaim Chanukah Festival
We had a lot of fun at the Chanukah (Hanukka)
Festival at Conejo Creek Park behind the library in Thousand Oaks. Thanks to Natalie and Pablo at Temple Etz Chaim and Tyler and the crew at Studio 116. I didn't catch the name of the younger guy who helped us with the chairs and mics, but thanks to him as well for an excellent job.
Lighthouse Harvest Festival
This was our second year at an evening of old time country fair celebration at the Lighthouse Chuch in Newbury Park. Thanks to Kathi and Jesse and all the rest for setting up and running this amazing festival. We're happy it wasn't as cold as last year and playing outside is always an adventure.

Thousand Oaks Birthday Party
The Sedalia Ragtime Orchestra played at a private birthday party for
people as they were entering and later in the evening. Our juggler
couldn't see very well in the evening light at the end of the set,
but nobody got hurt.
The Patriotic red, white and blue theme for the actual July 4th birthday carried into the band for an early start on our nations birthday as well. We all enjoyed the wonderfully organized party.
