What better way to march into the new year than with a rousing fiddle and cello concert with two of the world’s top celtic/world music entertainers.
On Friday, Jan. 9, sizzling Scottish fiddler, Alasdair Fraser, and explosive American cellist, Natalie Haas, will be in concert at the Big Yellow Merville Hall.
The pair are on tour throughout the North American west coast and, lucky for us, the Big Yellow Merville Hall is one of their venues.
Fraser is Scotland’s premier fiddle ambassador and Haas is a cutting-edge cellist who is turning traditional music on its ear.
She and Fraser have toured as a dynamic duo for over 15 years, wowing audiences at festivals and concerts worldwide with their unique sound.
They have recorded numerous award winning albums (their first album together, Fire & Grace, was awarded Best Album of the Year in the Scots Trad Music Awards 2004) and have busy teaching schedules, including summer fiddle courses in the US, Scotland, and Spain.
For more information on both artists, go online to www.alasdairfraser.com, or www.nataliehaas.com.
The Friday concert starts at 7:30 and doors open at 7 p.m.
Tickets are $18 adult/$10 youth and will be on sale at The Music Plant in Campbell River, Blue Heron Books in Comox and Long & McQuade in Courtenay or at the door for $20 adult/$12 youth. Call 339-4249 for more details.
