Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas

ontinuing to celebrate the release of their new CD "In the Moment", Scottish fiddle legend Alasdair Fraser and rising cello star Natalie Haas are coming to the Courtroom Theater stage! The release of "In The Moment" follows their 2004 award winning album "Fire & Grace".

"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. He is from Clackmannan, a small town in Scotland's smallest county. She is a Juilliard grad from California. When they met, he was teacher, and she was student. And yet on a new CD, "In the Moment," 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. Their sound is as urbane as a Manhattan midnight, and as wild as a Clackmannan winter." -- Scott Alarik, Boston Globe.
