About Alasdair Fraser &amp; Natalie Haas:The musical partnership between consummate performer Alasdair Fraser, "the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling," and brilliant Californian cellist, Natalie Haas, spans the full spectrum between intimate chamber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 16 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 presence of their music.Fraser has a concert and recording career spanning over 30 years, with a long list of awards, accolades, radio and television credits, and feature performances on top movie soundtracks (Last of the Mohicans, Titanic, etc.). In 2011, he was inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. Haas, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, is one of the most sought after cellists in traditional music today. She has performed and recorded with a who's who of the fiddle world including Mark O'Connor, Natalie MacMaster, Irish supergroups Solas and Altan, Liz Carroll, Dirk Powell, Brittany Haas, Darol Anger, Jeremy Kittel, Hanneke Cassel, Laura Cortese, and many more.

This seemingly 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 rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music, where it stood for hundreds of years before being relegated to the orchestra. The duo's debut recording, Fire &amp; Grace, won the coveted the Scots Trad Music "Album of the Year" award, the Scottish equivalent of a Grammy. Since its release, the two have gone on to record three more critically acclaimed albums that blend a profound understanding of the Scottish tradition with cutting-edge string explorations. In additional to performing, they both have motivated generations of string players through their teaching at fiddle camps across the globe.The Boston Globe writes, “You’d think they’d been playing together for centuries. While Fraser’s fiddle dances with lively precision, Haas’s cello alternates between throbbing darkness and playful plucking. When Haas lets her cello’s voice soar, the duo creates a mesmerizing interplay of sweeping sustains, windswept melodies, and sudden, jazzy bursts of energy. Their sound is a remarkable blend: as polished and urbane as a Manhattan midnight, yet as untamed as a Clackmannan winter.”The Herald observes, “Despite countless performances together over the years, Fraser and Haas still radiate a captivating spontaneity in their music-making. Fraser’s dynamic tone and technique shine, while Haas’s cello mastery anchors their sound with rhythmic bowing and bass-like pizzicato, seamlessly shifting roles between rhythm and lead. The way they build tension and resolve it in striking unison feels like a release, as powerful as opening floodgates.”The Scotsman praises the duo, noting, “Fraser, celebrated as one of the finest Scots fiddle players, could hardly find a better partner than Haas. Together, they are a sheer delight.”
