It truly is a family affair when Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy bring their Celtic—by way of Cape Breton, Canada—music to the stage for a holiday party. MacMaster and Leahy are married, and their performances marry their masterful fiddle playing with the sounds and traditions of their home. This celebration is a homecoming of sorts as the musicians—whose long association with Hancher makes them feel like family—bring their take on the holidays to the new Hancher Auditorium stage for the first time.
