Sisters Natalie (cello) and Brittany Haas (fddle) began their musical lives together, flling their childhood home with Bach suites and Old-Time tunes alike

It was on their own, however-- following divergent paths through disparate musical traditions, countries, and cultures--that they both arrived as virtuosi and composers at the highest levels of contemporary string music. Fans of acoustic music can hardly mention one without referencing the other's work. With 'HAAS', these singular musicians fnally record together - in duo form - for the frst time. It is a collaboration a lifetime in the making, and a music encompassing travels through time and through the world. From Nashville to Norway, the Celtic Isles to California, Natalie and Brittany have absorbed, adapted, and made their own world of music. The result? 'HAAS'.

Brittany Haas is an award-winning fddle player, was a member of Crooked Still, a regular performer on Live From Here (NPR), and currently plays with Hawktail. Natalie Haas is an award-winning cellist, an in-demand session player (having performed on over 100 albums), and frequently collaborates with Scottish fddle player Alasdair Fraser.
