Event Details
The musical partnership between Alasdair Fraser, long regarded as Scotland’s premier fiddle ambassador, and the sizzlingly-talented Californian cellist Natalie Haas may not seem an obvious one, but the duo’s dazzling teamwork, driving rhythms, and shared passion for improvising on the melody and the groove of Scottish tunes has helped reconstruct and revive the Scottish tradition of playing dance music on violin and cello. They have toured internationally for over twenty years, wowing audiences at festivals and concerts worldwide with their unique sound, and have released six critically acclaimed and award-winning albums along the way.
Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas will perform “Fire and Grace: An Exploration of Strings” on Friday, October 4th at 7 p.m. at Lyric Theater in St. Paul in conjunction with the W. Campbell Edmonds Concert Series. Tickets are $15 at the door. Children and students will be admitted free! For more information and to make reservations, please visit proartva.org.
Fire & Grace spans the full spectrum 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. 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.
