Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas Concert & Film
Scottish master fiddler Alasdair Fraser and American cellist Natalie Haas have performed and recorded music together since 2003. They have restored the wee fiddle and the big fiddle partnership that flourished in eighteenth century Scotland to contemporary prominence at the cutting edge of tradition-rooted creativity. They thrill audiences internationally with their virtuosic playing, their near-telepathic connection, and the joyful spontaneity of their music. As an addition to this concert, there will be a special showing of the film The Groove is Not Trivial, a documentary about Alasdair’s musical journey. The film will begin at 5:15 pm, and there will be a one-hour break before the concert begins at 7:30 pm. You may see the film and the concert for a single admission charge. Presented by the nonprofit San Diego Folk Heritage.
