On Saturday, March 4, 2017 Madison-Morgan Cultural Center presented a Madison Chamber Music Festival performance by Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn in MMCC's Auditorium. Today, we share a video featuring Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn performing an NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert on May 11, 2018.

"Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn, “the king and queen of the banjo” (Paste Magazine), have a musical partnership like no other. Béla Fleck is a fifteen-time Grammy Award winner who has taken the instrument across multiple genres, and Abigail Washburn a singer-songwriter and clawhammer banjo player who re-radicalized it by combining it with Far East culture and sounds. The two met at a square dance, began collaborating musically and eventually fell in love. "
