Natalie MacMaster Fiddle

A young musical prodigy, Natalie MacMaster began fiddling at the age of nine and released her debut album at the age of sixteen. Three decades, eleven albums, two JUNOS, and multiple Grammy nominations later, she has succeeded in bringing the music of her beloved homeland, Cape Breton Island, into the mainstream. Performing almost 100 shows a year—often with her fiddler husband, Donnell Leahy—MacMaster continuously wows crowds with her exuberant stage presence and signature style of Celtic fiddling. Seen here is the instrument that started it all, MacMaster’s first fiddle.
