A Fiddler’s Feast at The Grand Opera House on Jan. 12 features five renowned artists in a lush celebration of American roots music: fiddler Alasdair Fraser and cellist Natalie Haas, who have recently released the acclaimed “Highlander’s Farewell;” genre-bending Dirk Powell, whose modern interpretations of rural American music have won the attention of artists from Joan Baez to Loretta Lynn; and fiddle duo Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, favorites of “A Prairie Home Companion.” See why host Garrison Keillor calls them, “simple and overwhelming, joyful and full of feeling.” (652-5577, thegrandwilmington.org)—Mark Nardone
