World-Famous Celtic Musicians Join Folk Orchestra of Santa Barbara International folk music stars Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas will join the Folk Orchestra of Santa Barbara for a special show on March 13, just in time for Celtic music fans to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Fraser is one of the world’s outstanding fiddlers and an ambassador for this lively music; on the cello, Haas has teamed with him to make numerous award-winning albums and tour worldwide. “We’re so excited for our many local fans to be able to experience these great musicians,” said Folk Orchestra founder, director, and arranger Adam Phillips. “The Orchestra and I are also thrilled to be playing some of their tunes with them, as well as sharing our love of this music with our audience.” Tickets are on sale now for the show on Sunday, March 13, at 4 p.m. at the beautiful and historic Marjorie Luke Theater at Santa Barbara Junior High at 721 E. Cota Street. Tickets available for purchase via folkorchestrasb.com or at the door. Fraser and Haas’s dazzling teamwork, driving rhythms, and shared passion for improvising on the melody and groove of Scottish tunes have helped reconstruct and revive the Scottish tradition of playing dance music on violin and cello. This will be the pair’s only Southern California appearance during a national tour. “We’re really hoping that Celtic music fans will come to see Alasdair and Natalie and then fall in love with our Orchestra,” said Phillips about the five-year-old group, the only one of its kind in the United States. “We have more concerts planned for 2022 that will bring in more from around the world.”
