Our first concert will be a Ragtime Piano Concert featuring Bob Milne on Sunday, October 29 at 4:00 p.m. Bob joined us back in 2012 to the delight of all in attendance, and we are excited to bring him back for an encore.
Bob Milne is a self-taught pianist. He says that when he was younger he thought everyone knew how to play the piano. It was so simple and natural for him to be able to play what he heard.
His concert performing career began in 1991 and has taken him on tours all over the U.S. and beyond: Bob was named a Musical Ambassador by the U.S. State Department, touring widely in Japan and Switzerland.
Milne was declared a National Treasure in 2004 by the Library of Congress after being interviewed for the national record. His documented ability to “hear,” in his head, four different symphonies playing at once continues to be studied by neurological scientists.
In May of 2022, Bob was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from the University of the South, in Sewanee, Tennessee. This lifetime achievement award came as a surprise to Bob who says, “I’m only trying to do the best I can for as long as I can.”
