法国区拉格泰姆音乐节免费登场：钢琴、舞蹈与传统乐队点亮迪凯特街
10月3日（周六）下午，新奥尔良法国区迪凯特街（Decatur Street）419号的国家公园管理局法国区游客中心，成为新奥尔良拉格泰姆音乐节（New Orleans Ragtime Festival）的日间舞台。这场13时至16时举行的活动免费向公众开放，把钢琴独奏、舞蹈示范课和传统乐队演出安排在同一时段，让游客和本地居民在历史街区里近距离接触这种塑造了新奥尔良音乐身份的早期流行音乐。
节目先由钢琴家亚当·罗杰斯（Adam Rogers）从13时演至14时；14时至15时安排舞蹈示范和迷你课程，观众不只是坐着听，也能跟着了解拉格泰姆音乐与社交舞蹈之间的关系；最后由史蒂夫·皮斯托里乌斯（Steve Pistorius）与 Southern Syncopators 乐队从15时演出到16时。活动由新奥尔良爵士国家历史公园与让·拉菲特国家历史公园及保护区共同呈现。
这场演出是2026年新奥尔良拉格泰姆音乐节10月1日至4日系列节目的一部分。主办方把四天活动组合成演出、舞蹈和历史讲述，而10月3日的日间节目设在法国区游客中心，也让音乐回到这座城市最具代表性的历史街区。法国区又称 Vieux Carré，是新奥尔良最初的城区，街道格局可追溯至18世纪，克里奥尔式联排住宅、庭院和阳台保存了法国、西班牙与美国多重文化交汇的痕迹。
拉格泰姆兴起于爵士乐在全美流行之前，其切分节奏和钢琴传统后来成为新奥尔良音乐发展的重要源头之一。把这类节目放进国家公园游客中心，既是一场周末文化活动，也是一堂面向公众的城市音乐史课。

Ragtime Takes Over Decatur Street as Free French Quarter Program Links Music, Dance and History
The French Quarter turned into an open classroom for New Orleans music history on Saturday, October 3, when the New Orleans Ragtime Festival presented a free afternoon program at the National Park Service French Quarter Visitor Center, 419 Decatur Street. The 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. event was presented by New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park and Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve.
Pianist Adam Rogers opened the program from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. A dance demonstration and mini class followed from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., before Steve Pistorius and The Southern Syncopators closed the afternoon from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. The program formed part of the festival's October 1-4 schedule of performances, dancing and history.
The setting mattered as much as the set list. The visitor center stands in the Vieux Carré, the original city laid out in the 18th century and still defined by Creole townhouses, courtyards and balconies shaped by French, Spanish and American influences. Ragtime developed before jazz rose nationally, and New Orleans is widely identified as a place where African, European, Caribbean and American musical traditions met.
