Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra
"The premier American ragtime ensemble." - The Washington Post
About Me
The Peacherine Ragtime Society Orchestra, based in Annapolis, MD, is “the premier
American ragtime ensemble” as hailed by the Washington Post, and is rapidly
becoming the leading professional ragtime orchestra in the United States. Formed
by young virtuoso Andrew Greene at the University of Maryland in 2010, the PRSO
recreates the syncopated stylings from a bygone era – ragtime, musical theater,
dance selections, and silent film accompaniment – all performed off of the original
turn-of-the-century orchestral scores. The ensemble is primarily composed of young
musicians, age 35 and below, and has been widely praised for their work preserving
and performing America’s musical past.
Peacherine has appeared at leading venues including The Kennedy Center, The
Library of Congress, The American Film Institute, state-of-the-art performing arts
centers, historic theaters, colleges, universities, and concert associations.
Frequently PRSO’s work has been featured in documentaries, online video, and is
heard on radio and podcast programs across the United States, including Hot Jazz
Saturday Night (WAMU 88.5, Washington DC), Ragtime America (KGNU 88.5,
Boulder, CO), and Rapidly Rotating Records (KISL 88.7, Catalina Island, CA).
The PRSO records for Rivermont Records, whose two albums, Step With Pep and
That Teasin’ Rag have been called “first class”, “wonderful, toe tapping fun”, and
“the most satisfying ragtime orchestra collections available.” Their website is
