Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas

Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas

Alasdair Fraser has been teaching fiddle at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig Short Courses for 18 years. Traditional music has always been a connective tissue between cultures, communities, and generations, witness the duo of Scottish fiddle star Fraser and cello prodigy Haas. Alasdair is from Clackmannan and has lived in California for many years, Natalie is from California. When they met, he was teacher, and she was student, and yet you would think they'd been playing together for centuries. While his fiddle dances, her cello throbs darkly or plucks puckishly., then she opens her cello's throat, joining Fraser in soaring sustains, windswept refrains, and sudden, jazzy explosions.
