Ragtime Festival and Competition 2026

On Saturday, November 14 the San Antonio Ragtime Society will sponsor its 23rd Ragtime Festival and Youth Competition.  We strive to let people of all ages experience the great American music genre that is ragtime.  This year our festival and competition will be at Steinway Piano Gallery.  We are grateful to Steinway Piano Gallery for hosting us.

Festival Solo or Festival Duet: Students of any age can play a solo rag or a duet rag at any level of difficulty.  The genres of blues, jazz and boogie are welcome also.  Memorization is encouraged but not required.

Ragtime Competition: Students up to age 18 play by memory an unsimplified piano rag by a recognized ragtime composer.  Stride piano and novelty piano from the 1920s are welcome also.

Both the festival and the competition will be in recital format, open for the public to attend and enjoy.
