SUMMARY:Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas
DESCRIPTION:The musical partnership between consummate performer Alasdair F
 raser\, “the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling\,” and brilliant Cali
 fornian cellist Natalie Haas spans the full spectrum between intimate cham
 ber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 20 years of creating a 
 buzz at festivals and concert halls across the world\, they have truly set
  the standard for fiddle and cello in traditional music. They continue to 
 thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing\, their near
 -telepathic understanding and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical pr
 esence of their music.\n\nFraser has a concert and recording career spanni
 ng over 30 years\, with a long list of awards\, accolades\, radio and tele
 vision credits\, and feature performances on top movie soundtracks (Last o
 f the Mohicans\, Titanic\, etc.). In 2011\, he was inducted into the Scott
 ish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. Haas\, a graduate of the Juilliard Sch
 ool of Music\, is one of the most sought after cellists in traditional mus
 ic today. She has performed and recorded with a who’s who of the fiddle 
 world including Mark O’Connor\, Natalie MacMaster\, Irish supergroups So
 las and Altan\, Liz Carroll\, Dirk Powell\, Brittany Haas\, Darol Anger\, 
 Jeremy Kittel\, Hanneke Cassel\, Laura Cortese\, and many more.\n\nThis se
 emingly unlikely pairing of fiddle and cello is the fulfillment of a long-
 standing musical dream for Fraser. His search eventually led him to find a
  cellist who could help return the cello to its historical role at the rhy
 thmic heart of Scottish dance music\, where it stood for hundreds of years
  before being relegated to the orchestra. The duo’s debut recording\, Fi
 re &amp\; Grace\, won the coveted the Scots Trad Music “Album of the Yea
 r” award\, the Scottish equivalent of a Grammy. Since its release\, the 
 two have gone on to record three more critically acclaimed albums that ble
 nd a profound understanding of the Scottish tradition with cutting-edge st
 ring explorations. In additional to performing\, they both have motivated 
 generations of string players through their teaching at fiddle camps acros
 s the globe.\n\nTickets $30 advance\, $35 door\n\nALL SALES ARE FINAL\n\nD
