The University of Wisconsin-Superior Music Department will host Ragtime Rendezvous with jazz pianist Stephanie Trick on Saturday, November 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Webb Recital Hall.

A classically trained pianist, Trick began playing piano at the age of five. During the time between her beginning years and high school, her piano teacher exposed her to early jazz, and the syncopation and swinging rhythm piqued her interest. While in college, it became clear to Trick that she wanted to pursue stride and classic jazz styles professionally.

The 2012 recipient of the prestigious Kobe-Breda Jazz Friendship Award, Trick has performed in many parts of the United States and Europe in a variety of venues, including the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan, Italy, the KIG Dixieland Festival in Dresden, Germany, the Arbors Records Invitational Jazz Party, the Rochester International Jazz Festival, the Gilmore Keyboard Festival and the Sacramento Music Festival. In 2008, 2010, and 2014, she was invited to perform at the international Stride & Swing Piano Summit in Boswil, Switzerland. Trick has recorded 11 albums and one DVD. Her solo “Live” CD was awarded the “New Talent Prize 2011” by the Hot Club of France.

Tickets are $15. Webb Recital Hall is in Holden Fine and Applied Arts, 1805 Catlin Ave.
