A piece of wood, a few strings, and a pair of hands. From these simple ingredients, entire musical traditions emerge.

One of America’s grandest celebrations of roots music, the Festival
of American Fiddle Tunes brings authentic bearers of musical traditions
to the stage, connecting you with the communities and cultures that
make up the quilt of American music.
