Grounded in Virginia’s storied history, seldom-told tales of three generations of musicians blend in this fascinating documentary exploring Black fiddlers. Their virtuosity, first heard at Monticello, echoes forward decades later as contemporary Virginian musicians gather in the University of Virginia Rotunda to honor this legacy.

A rare concert of 19th and 20th century music performed at UVA’s Rotunda forms the spine of this exploration, revealing how historical instruments, family traditions, and community memory converge to illuminate a rich cultural heritage long overlooked.
