What People Are Saying...

"The Ironton Council for the Arts recently hosted ragtime pianist extraordinaire, Peter Bergin, who performed a community concert and an educational outreach for students in our area. Peter's performance was spectacular and virtuosic with splendid interpretations of the great ragtime piano masters from a bygone era. His ability to integrate humor and entertainment electrified both our older and younger audiences. I encourage everyone to experience a Peter Bergin performance!"

- Dr. Pat McCoy, President, Ironton Council for the Arts, Ironton, OH

“What an amazing performance and presentation. Peter’s ability to connect with his audience is second to none. The audience at Tribby Arts Center thoroughly enjoyed not only Peter’s spectacular talent on the piano but also the creative way in which he connected the history of Ragtime music throughout his performance. We will definitely have him back again.”
