Award-winning singer-songwriter Ariella McManus and passionate guitar virtuoso Nicolaas
Kraster comprise the soulful duo known as ARIELLA & NICOLAAS. With inspirations like Etta
James and Amy Winehouse and stylistic influences including Al di Meola, Paco de Lucía, and
Roy Buchanan. ARIELLA & NICOLAAS captivate audiences with their rich, romantic sound.
From soulful ballads to fiery flamenco to bluesy melodies to electrifying rock, experience an
enchanting show that traverses a multitude of genres and resonates with audiences worldwide.

It is probably safe to assume that there are no other musical duos who represent a synthesis of Old-time Music and Klezmer favorites - “klezgrass.” Natalya Zoe Weinstein comes from a long line of klezmer and jazz musicians, and John Cloyd Miller, the grandson of bluegrass fiddling legend Jim Shumate, comes from bluegrass royalty. They are a Davidson favorite, having first performed at a Traditional music concert in 2017, and more recently appearing as our Music Department guest artists for the 2021 Holiday Gala.
Tyler-Tallman Hall, Sloan Music Center
For tickets, please contact the Union Box Office at 704-894-2135. Free for Davidson students, but tickets are required.
