” … you would think they’d 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. Their sound is as urbane as a Manhattan midnight, and as wild as a Clackmannan winter.” — Boston Globe
Alasdair Fraser, “the Michael Jordan of Scottish fiddling”, and brilliant Californian cellist Natalie Haas span the dynamic range between intimate chamber music and ecstatic dance energy. Over the last 20 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.
In additional to performing, they both have motivated generations of string players through their teaching at fiddle camps across the globe.
The Ashokan Center is proud to present this 3pm concert to showcase Alasdair & Natalie’s virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic understanding, and the joyful spontaneity and sheer physical presence of their music. They’ll be joined by their fellow Scottish String Fling instructors, as well as Jay Ungar & Molly Mason who will add their renowned musical magic to the show. The thrilling acoustic concert will end with a grand finale: a rousing multi-tune arrangement performed by the entire camp!
