    UNIVERSITY OF ABERDEEN SPRING 2006 Researching, recording, and promoting the cultural traditions of North and North-East Scotland The North Atlantic Fiddle Convention Connecting Cultures 26-30 July 2006 lans for the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention are making great progress. Venues are booked, the website is about to undergo a major facelift, Pand the guest list is first-rate. The only question is: where to start? Joining our own Paul Anderson, the NAFCo 2006 guest list boasts a world-class line up of leading musicians from the far reaches of the North Atlantic – Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Canada, USA – and we’ve had interest from a group in Lithuania. Alasdair Fraser’s dynamic fiddling, engaging presence, and deep understanding of Scotland’s music has inspired listeners and learners around the world. His rich expressive playing transports people across a broad musical spectrum, ranging from haunting laments from the Gaelic tradition to classically-styled airs, up-tempo dance tunes, and improvisations based on traditional themes. At NAFCo 2006, Alasdair will be joined by vibrant young cellist, Natalie Haas, a recent Juilliard graduate and virtuoso in her own right. The duo’s teamwork reveals deep textures and powerful rhythms that drive the fiddle tunes, asserting the cello’s role at the heart of the music. Their debut duo album, Fire & Grace, was awarded the Best Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards 2004. Alasdair will be teaching workshops and featuring in performances throughout NAFCo 2006, and Natalie will join us for ‘With fire in his soul and a twinkle in his eye, Alasdair Fraser breathed life into music by the earliest masters up to the present day.

  • Highland Heartbeat
    HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT -- Centuries-old Tradition Meets Modern Music to Capture the Heart and Soul of Scotland in Song in New TV Special Premiering on PBS beginning February 28 -- Singer/actress Fiona Kennedy, a member of Scotland’s leading theatrical family and well- known in North America as the host of “Tartan TV,” leads a group of singers brought together from a country-wide audition to represent a range of musical styles. Singers Jim Malcolm, Jillian Isbister, Maureen McMullan, Daisy Chute and Darren Maclean perform at the historic Theatre Royal in Glasgow backed by the Scottish Festival Orchestra. The men wear the traditional Scottish kilt, and the women wear modern designs that riff on traditional Scottish themes. Emmy Award-winning Scottish actor Brian Cox (“The Bourne Supremacy”) reads the works of Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns, with stunning footage of Scotland interspersed between songs. The concert was shot in high definition in August 2008. Opening with the emotive wails of the distinctive Scottish bagpipe, the music performed in HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT embodies the pride and passion of a country rich with history, offering a concert that spans genres and generations from traditional Scottish compositions like “Loch Lomond” and “Down in the Glen” to pop hits originally sung by Carly Simon, Bette Midler, and Simon and Garfunkel that infuse Scottish cultural significance to the familiar lyrics. HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT premieres nationwide beginning February 28 on PBS (check local listings). Starting with “Raise the Flag for Scotland (Lightly Swims the Swan)” and “My Heart’s in the Highlands,” HIGHLAND HEARTBEAT speaks to the spirit of Scotland with a diverse repertoire that will satisfy the nostalgia of first generation immigrants and spark a new appreciation for family culture in younger viewers.
