brilliant violin & cello duo brings a fresh sound to the Scottish tradition
Door 7:30 P.M., Music 8:00 P.M. | Purchase advance tickets: $22.50

Here's a pair of shows to warm you right down to your toes! Scottish fiddle legend Alasdair Fraser and cello artist Natalie Haas team up to make some of the richest, most exhilarating music imaginable.

Justly renowned for his warmth and wit as well as his music, Alasdair is one of Scotland's most valued tradition-bearers. As fans of the annual Freight Fiddle Summit (which he hosts) already know, his richly expressive playing transports listeners across a broad spectrum ranging from haunting laments drawn from the Gaelic tradition to classically styled airs and raucous dance tunes, all delivered with flawless virtuosity and the sweetest of sounds. Natalie, a recent graduate of the Juilliard School, is a brilliant cellist who has also toured extensively with Alasdair as well as with Mark O'Connor and Natalie MacMaster.

In duo, Alasdair and Natalie reinvent the classic coupling of fiddle and cello, showcasing dazzling interplay and driving, dancing rhythms from their most recent album, In the Moment.
