Ophelia Ragtime Orchestra
Biography
The Ophelia Ragtime Orchestra was formed in the 1970s by Morten Gunnar Larsen, with the intention of playing orchestrated arrangements of classic ragtime pieces, after he had heard The New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra whilst studying in N.O. in the early seventies. Never a man to hurry his projects, Morten managed to get the band playing concerts by 1977 - and not long afterwards Ophelia had the pleasure of accompanying the then 94 year old Eubie Blake on a concert in Oslo (unfortunately not recorded).
