Isabel Oliart and Sammy Wetstein

Join us in welcoming Isabel Oliart and Sammy Wetstein to Celtic Hall for an evening of traditional Irish music.

Isabel Oliart is a fiddler from Boston and has been playing the violin since she was 3 years old.  Isabel is the current U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion of 2025 and has competed in Scottish fiddle competitions many times in the US. She began her musical journey with classical music, and then discovered Scottish and Celtic fiddling through Brian O’Donovan’s show, A Christmas Celtic Sojourn, where she was inspired by artists including Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Hass. She now pursues a career in both classical music and Celtic fiddling. Primarily a Scottish fiddler, Isabel also has a love for the fiddle music of Ireland, Cape-Breton, as well as Contra dance music.
