Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas

Celebrating the release of their third CD, 'Highlander's Farewell,' the dazzling and dynamic duo Fraser and Haas make their Kuumbwa debut with an evening of traditional Scottish fiddle and cello music of unrivaled beauty, eloquence and passion. Long regarded, as much for his warm personality as for his powerful playing, as Scotland's premiere fiddle ambassador, Fraser's concert and recording career spans over 30 years with a lengthy list of awards and accolades. The sizzlingly-talented, young Californian cellist Haas first met Fraser at his Valley of the Moon Fiddle Camp. The sparks ignited there have served to fire enormously successful international touring as one of Celtic music's top 'live' acts and recordings that have been acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic. As the Boston Globe noted, '... you would think they have been playing together for centuries. While his fiddle dances, her cello throbs darkly or plucks puckishly. Then [Haas] opens her cello's throat, joining Fraser in soaring sustains, windswept refrains and sudden, jazzy explosions.'
