Cape Breton

  • Natalie MacMaster Shows:

  • Friday October 5th
    My Island Too – Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre
Natalie MacMaster is an electrifying performer whose fiddle-playing has become synonymous with Cape Breton's traditional music. It's a signature sound that has resonated with world audiences through 11 albums; numerous Juno and East Coast Music Awards; two honorary degrees and an honorary doctorate; the Order Of Canada; and a reputation as one of Canada’s most captivating performers.

In 2010, Natalie became an author, co-writing and publishing the picturesque 161-page coffee table book Natalie MacMaster’s "Cape Breton Aire" with Pulitzer Prize-winning wordsmith Eileen McNamara and featuring Boston-based Eric Roth’s breathtaking photography.

Natalie has been an ambassador of Cape Breton fiddle music, and we're very happy to have her home to celebrate Celtic Colours this year.

    It’s a pleasure to have Natalie and Cape Breton musicians on my celtic broadcast “Irish Horizons” on FM 98.5 CKWR.

    All the best,

    I met Natalie for the first time in person at the doryman in Cheticamp about four years ago. She signed a CD on the hood of a car for me. I will keep this in safe quarters for the rest of my life. She is by far the greatest scottish fiddler ever to come out of Cape Breton. All the best Natalie, Cheers Gary Moore.
