Rock & Reel: Monticello’s Folk Traditions

In celebration of Juneteenth, Early Music Access Project presents Rock & Reel: Monticello’s Folk Traditions, a concert that explores the unique repertoire of accomplished Black fiddlers, including Sally Hemings’ three sons and the Scott family, who lived on Main Street and played for multiple presidents. Raucous reels, stately minuets, and a new composition by Jonathan Woody will be performed by storyteller Sheila Arnold, fiddler Benjamin Hunter, violinist David McCormick, and more.

Sunday 6/18. Free (registration required), 7:30pm. The Rotunda, UVA Grounds. earlymusiccville.org
