Barron Ryan showcases a piano artistry that blends classical roots with the drive of jazz and ragtime and the pop sensibility he heard at home, creating music that feels both rooted in tradition and freshly modern. The son of two musicians, he began lessons with his father at age four, excelled through his school years in Tulsa, and studied piano performance at The University of Oklahoma. After facing rejections from the conservatories he applied to and a brief detour into satirical hip hop, he won the Oklahoma Israel Exchange Young Artist competition in 2011 and, during the Israel tour that followed, clarified his artistic voice. That path led to his debut album, Classical with Attitude, celebrating the joy he found in jazz and ragtime, and to The Masters’ Apprentice, a salute to jazz greats shaped by closely studying and performing their solos. This event highlights his cross-genre approach, where refined technique meets contemporary flair.

Three on a String brings more than five decades of stage experience to this concert, tracing its roots to a 1971 duo performance by Jerry and Bobby at Horse Pens 40 near Steel, Alabama, before adding bass and launching a long run of shows.

A Labor Day pops concert featuring The Villages Philharmonic, a professional orchestra from The Villages that has performed since 2003. Led by music director Pasquale Valerio, the ensemble presents orchestral works for local audiences and contributes to the community’s cultural life. Most musicians reside in the Orlando area, with regular members traveling from Jacksonville, Tampa, Daytona and St. Petersburg. Presenting 13 to 15 concerts each year, the orchestra brings together resident and international artists who also collaborate with symphonic and operatic companies. The roster includes two professional players who live in The Villages and six dedicated amateurs who train each Saturday to meet the ensemble’s standards.
