Event

Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas

Celebrating the recent release of their fourth CD, 'Abundance,' the dazzling and dynamic duo of Fraser and Haas return to Kuumbwa for a full-length evening of traditional Scottish fiddle and cello music of unrivalled beauty, eloquence and passion. Long regarded as Scotland's premiere fiddle ambassador, as much for his warm personality as his powerful playing, Fraser has inspired and encouraged an entire generation of aspiring and accomplished musicians through his energetic performances, award-winning recordings and music camps, earning numerous accolades, including induction into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. The sizzling, young, celestial California cellist Haas first met Fraser at his nearby Valley of the Moon Fiddle Camp. ignited there served to fire an enormously successful international touring as one of Celtic music's most in-demand 'live' acts and albums 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 and plucks puckishly. Then [Haas] opens her cello's
throat, joining Fraser in soaring sustains, windswept refrains and sudden jazzy explosions.' For more info, sights and sounds, visit www/alasdairfraser.com.
