BRATTLEBORO — In the final concert of their tour through the Northeast, world-class Scottish fiddler Alasdair Fraser and cellist Natalie Haas will perform at First Baptist Church, 190 Main St., on Sunday, May 4, at 7 p.m.
Fraser's concert and recording career spans 30 years, including a long list of awards, accolades, television credits, and feature performances on top movie soundtracks.
Haas, a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music, was 11 when she first attended Fraser's Valley of the Moon Scottish Fiddling School in California and responded to his challenge for cellists to discover and release the cello's rhythmic soul.
They played their first concert together four years later.
Promotional materials say this musical partnership is the fulfillment of a long-standing dream for Fraser, “whose cutting-edge musical explorations brought him full circle to return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish music.”
