Menlo Park cellist Natalie Haas, featured with her sister Brittany Hass in an Almanac cover story (January 19, 2005), has led a fast-paced touring life since graduating from Juilliard last year, reports Rebecca Wallace, A&E editor of the Palo Alto Weekly, in her blog (blog.paloaltoonline.com/adlibs).
Natalie lives in New York City now but recently returned to the Bay Area for a gig in Saratoga.
“Natalie is on a mission to show that the cello can take off as a rhythmic fixture in Scottish dance music,” Ms. Wallace writes.
“Brittany is now a freshman at Princeton studying ecology and evolutionary biology, but still making time for fiddling gigs — and learning how to play the Indian tabla drum.”
