River Run centre welcomes the return of fiddlers and family duo Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy on Oct. 9at 8 pm.
MacMaster is well-known to international audiences as one of Canada’s major talents, who regularly dazzles crowds with her feverish fiddling and mesmerizing step dancing. A native of Cape Breton, MacMaster has 10 albums, garnering her multiple gold sales, and numerous Juno and East coast Music Awards.
Leahy is equally well known to audiences in Canada and abroad as the front man and oldest brother of the internationally acclaimed, multiple juno award-winning folk band Leahy. He is considered to be one of the best fiddlers in the world. As ambassadors for traditional East coast music, MacMaster and Leahy are taking Celtic music to new heights around the globe.
The pair married in 2002 and make their home in Lakefield, with three children and an impressive collection of fiddles. MacMaster and Leahy find performing together to be particularly special, and will be presenting an intimate concert – just the two of them, plus their fiddles and two piano players.
