Lyceum Speaker Series: The Black Fiddlers of Monticello

David McCormick is executive director of Early Music America, artistic director of Early Music Access Project, and co-founder of medieval ensemble Alkemie. In this opening lecture, and based on his research as a 2020 Fellow of the International Center for Jefferson Studies, McCormick will speak about Monticello’s vibrant Black fiddling tradition and perform some of the unique repertoire he has uncovered.

Refreshments will be provided before the start of his talk. Find more information about the rest of the season’s speakers: https://www.vmrc.org/blog/experience-a-season-of-enlightenment-and-engagement-at-the-2024-25-lyceum-9hcgs.
