YES! Join us in 2024, for our 16th workshop with Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas! As always, there’s so much to be excited about.
Alasdair Fraser, our long time friend, and consummate Scottish fiddler and artist, has a deep understanding of traditional styles of music, with a strong focus Scotland’s music. He will co-lead and teach along with Natalie Haas on cello. Their skill and experience will have fiddlers, cellists, and guitarists, and other musician types learning a handful of new tunes in no time.
Natalie Haas on cello, will provide her fresh and exciting ideas to compliment these great tunes. Guaranteed to get everyone on their feet and dance with rhythmic groove with great harmonic support. Perfect for those into accompaniment and the groove as well as melody players.
Not sure if you’ll fit in because you don’t play fiddle or cello? We’ve had mandolins, concertinas, accordions, flutes, tin whistles, harps, and a xylophone join us before!
Mandolins lead the way in the Flatbush Waltz.
