ALASDAIR FRASER & NATALIE HAAS

The musical partnership between Alasdair Fraser, one of Scotland’s premier fiddle ambassadors, and the sizzlingly-talented young California cellist Natalie Haas has produced a debut CD, Fire and Grace. Fraser has a concert and recording career spanning 30 years. The 25-year-old Haas, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, wasn’t even born when Alasdair was winning national fiddle competitions on the other side of the Atlantic. The pairing is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream for Fraser, who found in Haas a musician who could help him return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music.
