UKIAH >> Joel and Spencer Brewer present a special engagement with the world famous fiddle legend Alasdair Fraser and cellist Natalie Haas for one performance this Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Ukiah High School Auditorium.
Fraser has been featured on over 100 television and radio shows in the UK, and on several nationally-broadcast programs in the US, including CBS Sunday Morning, NPR Morning Edition, A Prairie Home Companion and The Thistle & Shamrock. On The Kennedy Center Honors (CBS TV) Fraser played a special solo tribute to honoree Sean Connery, a fellow Scot. His film credits include solo performances on the soundtracks of several major films, including The Last of the Mohicans and Titanic.
Haas, a graduate of the Juilliard School, is a brilliant cellist who tours extensively with Fraser as well as with Mark O”Connor and Natalie MacMaster.
In duo, Fraser and Haas reinvent the classic coupling of fiddle and cello, showcasing dazzling interplay and driving, dancing rhythms from their most recent CD, “In the Moment”. Their previous CD, “Fire and Grace”, was voted best traditional album of 2004. This famous team previously performed to a sold out performance in Ukiah with multiple standing ovations.
