Bluegrass historian Fred Bartenstein hosted an evening with Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers, the Centerville High School Alternative Strings and the University of Dayton's World Music Choir.

This symposium brings together scholars, teachers, students and performing artists to explore and experience the innovative African American Funk music movement that put Dayton on the map in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to its identification as the World Capitol of Funk.
