A Fiddler’s Feast brings together two acclaimed string duos to share the stage for a night of fiddling fun that includes Scottish dance music and a wide range of American roots genres.         

Fraser and Haas perform frequently in Europe, and throughout the United States and Canada. They have been featured on NPR’s Performance Today, Thistle & Shamrock, and Mountain Stage, and represented Scotland at the Smithsonian Museum’s Folklife Festival. Ungar and Mason have appeared on CBS This Morning, The Rosie O’Donnell Show, All Things Considered, A Prairie Home Companion, and the BBC’s Transatlantic Sessions. The duo’s best-known composition is the title track of The Lovers’ Waltz, an album of romantic fiddle music from Appalachian, Scandinavian, Celtic, Klezmer and swing traditions.
