Opening the night will be the young phenomenal fiddle and cello combination of Giulia Haible and Caroline Dressler. nspired mainly by music from the Scottish tradition, Giulia and Caroline continue to widen the horizons of their music and push the boundaries of their creativity. Their debut album, Dragonfly, was released in 2016. Take a listen below...
