According to the Internet source given below, The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra is the world's only year-round, professional ensemble re-creating
America's Original Music the syncopated sounds of early musical theater, silent cinema, and vintage dance. The PRO came into being as the result of Rick Benjamin's 1985 discovery of thousands of turn-of-the-century orchestra scores once belonging to Victrola recording star
Arthur Pryor. In 1988 the Orchestra made its formal debut at Alice Tully Hall the first concert ever presented at Lincoln Center by such an ensemble.
