The Saint Louis Art Museum has announced that pianist and composer Reginald R. Robinson (pictured) will perform a free concert for the museum's “Art After 5" series at 7:00 p.m., Friday, January 23 in the Grigg Gallery.

Robinson is a Chicago native known for his performances of ragtime, semi-classical, Latin American, and early jazz and blues styles. He has played all across the country and in Europe, and in 2004 was honored with the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Fellowship, aka the “Genius Grant," for his work to revitalize ragtime music.
