Fraser & Haas at WYO Theater on Nov. 7

A concert by Celtic music duo Fraser & Haas will be held on Friday, Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m., at the WYO Theater in downtown Sheridan. The musical partnership between Alasdair Fraser, long regarded as Scotland’s premier fiddle ambassador, and talented young California cellist Natalie Haas, may not seem an obvious one. Fraser has a career spanning 30 years. Haas, a graduate of Juilliard, wasn’t even born when Alasdair was winning fiddle competitions on the other side of the Atlantic. But this seemingly unlikely pairing is the fulfillment of a long-standing musical dream of Fraser to return the cello to its historical role at the rhythmic heart of Scottish dance music.
