We are pleased to announce the addition of pianist and composer Rich Dworsky to An Evening with Garrison Keillor May 6, 2015 at 7:30 PM, as a part of the Sangamon Auditorium Visiting Artist Series.

Garrison Keillor

Rich Dworsky, pianist/music director for A Prairie Home Companion for the last twenty years, is a classically trained pianist and composer who rocks, swings, plays great Blues and Gospel, tears it up on the Hammond B3 organ and keeps up with world class pickers playing his unique “Bluegrass piano” style.  He composes classical, theater and film music and has the amazing ability to improvise compositions on the spot in virtually any style.
