Music has inspired and sustained us from our human beginnings. This week’s live stream from Monticello focuses on the early American musical tradition, what Thomas Jefferson declared “the favorite passion of my soul.” Please join us for a live Q&A with Thomas Jefferson himself, interpreted by the nation’s leading scholar-interpreter and Innermost House founding advisor, Bill Barker. Mr. Jefferson will be discussing the music of free and enslaved people who played for themselves and others at Monticello. Please join the conversation here.
