His grave remained unmarked until 1974 when ASCAP – the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers – responding to the immense popularity of Joplin’s music due to its use in the award-winning film The Sting, installed a plaque. St. Michael’s Cemetery has been honoring this great composer every May for the past dozen years with free, outdoor ragtime concerts on its grounds. The concert, to be held on May 27 at 2 p.m., will feature the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra, today’s foremost ragtime ensemble. After the concert, a ceremony will be held at the gravesite to install a memorial bench to further honor the composer. The bench was paid for with donations by admirers of Scott Joplin’s music, fans from the U.S., Canada, Italy, and Japan. The ceremony will include a barbershop quartet singing “We Will Rest Awhile,” a number from Joplin’s opera Treemonisha. This is a notable musical event that is not to be missed. You are invited to join us for our FREE BBQ ������������������������������������ Scott Joplin was interred at St. Michael’s Cemetery on April 5th 1917.
