Tracing the music: Get in your steps and a history lesson during David McCormick’s Black Fiddlers of Monticello walking tour, a tribute to the Scott and Hemings family fiddlers. McCormick, a founding performer with the Early Access Music Project, uses recent research as a fellow at the International Center for Jefferson Studies to trace the families’ history on Main Street and in Maplewood Cemetery and other locations we frequently pass. He will perform a short set of music associated with each stop along the one-mile journey.
Through 5/15, $10-20, 2 and 4pm, Maplewood Cemetery, 425 Maple St. earlymusiccville.org.
