Brittany Haas (violin) is a figure familiar to Telluride audiences, usually through performances on the Main Stage in Town Park stage with Telluride Bluegrass favorite ,The Punch Brothers.
Sister Natalie Haas is also an international star credited with putting cello on the map of the Celtic Music world.
On March 20, concert attendees get a rare opportunity to see the sisters (who are both trained classically) in a different guise – performing together in a concert presented by Telluride Chamber Music. The evening offers a wide range of sounds from classical to Celtic and bluegrass. The collaboration was a lifetime in the making, and a concert that travels through time and through different worlds.
Natalie (cello) and Brittany (fiddle) began their musical lives together, filling their childhood home with Bach suites and Old-Time tunes alike. It was on their own, however—following divergent paths through disparate musical traditions, countries, and cultures—that they both became virtuosi and composers at the highest levels of contemporary string music.
Natalie brings a wealth of world influences to her instrument, fashioning a tone and rhythmic sense that transcends any one tradition. Along with her longtime collaborator Alasdair Fraser, with whom she released seven albums, Natalie has charted a new course through the string music of Scotland, Ireland, Spain, and beyond, all without losing the influence of classical technique or her American roots, the combination of which has been on display since her girlhood, when she effortlessly traveled between the worlds of traditional fiddle camps and Juilliard, where she studied classical performance.
Among the most influential fiddlers of her generation, Brittany has combined a world-renowned virtuosity with a musical sensibility all her own—a combination that has gained the attention and elicited the admiration of some of the greatest musicians in the world.
Having studied under Bruce Molsky and Darol Anger, Brittany went on to join Anger’s Republic of Strings, Crooked Still, Tony Trischka and Steve Martin, Dave Rawlings Machine, and most recently her own quartet, Hawktail, formed alongside Paul Kowert, Jordan Tice, and Dominick Leslie.
A mainstay of Chris Thile’s “Live From Here,” Brittany’s fiddle has made waves throughout American music, crossing genres and generations with her signature approach to her instrument.
The Haas Sisters are a collaboration not to be missed.
