Natalie MacMaster
Mothers’ Weekend Concert
With a talent that remains both raw and wondrously refined, and backed by a band any top musician would be proud of, Natalie MacMaster continues to stun crowds around the globe with her feverish fiddling and mesmerizing step dancing. Well-known to international audiences as one of Canada’s major talents, Natalie has been an ambassador for traditional East Coast Canadian music, and is credited with lifting the style to its contemporary prominence. Natalie first picked up the fiddle at age nine and hasn’t looked back. The niece of famed Cape Breton fiddler Buddy MacMaster, Natalie quickly became a major talent in her own right. After winning numerous awards for her early traditional recordings, Natalie’s subsequent releases have been boldly ground-breaking and received with abundant accolades. In July of 2006, Natalie was one of the youngest people ever named a member of the prestigious Order of Canada – Canada’s highest civilian honor. Natalie is married to Donnell Leahy, who performed at BYU-Idaho earlier this year. RATING: Lively, could be loud.
