The Fair Lane Music Guild continues its 47th anniversary season with Bob Milne in performance with An Evening of Ragtime on Wednesday, February 22, 2017, at 7:30 p.m.

The Guild’s weeknight concerts continue with its popular format of café seating (which gives us the opportunity to offer dessert concerts). Doors will open and service will begin one half hour prior to the concerts.

The Henry Ford Estate is currently closed for renovations, but thanks to the generosity of the
Historic Ford Estates and the University of Michigan-Dearborn, the Fair Lane Music Guild is being allowed to use the Pool Room for these concerts.

Ragtime and boogie-woogie pianist Bob Milne is referred to as “a national treasure” by the Librarian of Congress, and his concert tours have taken him all over the globe, from small, vintage operas houses to large, prestigious concert halls. He was a musical ambassador for the United States for six years, performing goodwill tours in Japan, Okinawa, Ireland, and for the Swiss Parliament. His concerts are more than just music. They are history lessons, too, sprinkled with humorous anecdotes and wry asides. The concert is sponsored by the Carl T. Lenk Trust and will include a dessert table sponsored by Park Place Catering of Dearborn.

All Fair Lane Music Guild concerts are held at the Henry Ford Estate – Fair Lane, which is located on the campus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn, 4901 Evergreen Road in Dearborn. Tickets are $15/person, $14 for senior citizens and $9 for students. Doors open at 7:00 p.m.
