Fire & Grace is a journey across cultures, centuries, and traditions, where the elegance of Baroque music meets the soul and energy of folk traditions from around the world. Violinist Edwin Huizinga and guitarist William Coulter move freely between these musical worlds, finding connections that feel both ancient and alive.

Chamber Music in the Galleries: Fire & Grace

Cleveland Museum of Art

Edwin Huizinga and William Coulter of Fire & Grace invite you to join them on another heartfelt journey of folk and Baroque music from Ireland and Scotland, and across the sea. The dynamic duo will be sharing a brand new and astonishing genre-defying mash-up of Bach and Irish music with a world premiere arrangement of Partita Celtica, a combination of the B minor solo violin partita with a Robert Schumann-inspired guitar part, mixed in with incredible original compositions from Celtic superstar musician Brian Finnegan.

Across the Sea – A Celtic Journey

Sunset Center

Edwin Huizinga, violin, and William Coulter, guitar, (Fire & Grace) return with special guest artists from their musical family, continuing their tradition of wildly popular, sold-out concerts with a program entitled “Pangea: One World.” This unique duo explores the connective musical elements of classical, folk, and contemporary traditions from around the world. Fire & Grace’s repertoire is vast, ranging from Bach to Vivaldi, tango to Celtic tunes, traditional Bulgarian to American fiddle tunes and waltzes, all played with a sense of discovery and commitment to the elements of passion and virtuosity — fire and grace — found in these diverse traditions.

Sunset Center Theater

Fire & Grace & Ash (Edwin Huizinga, violin; William Coulter, guitar; Ashley Broder, mandolin) join forces with mezzo-soprano Kara Dugan in a compelling musical journey, taking the music of Johann Sebastian Bach as the starting point for a dynamic fusion of Baroque and folk, spanning the centuries from Vivaldi to the “father of bluegrass,” Bill Monroe! This concert promises to keep your foot tapping as you waltz home from a late night at the Festival!

Take a spirited trip across the Emerald Isle when authentic Irish music, dance, and storytelling join forces with the lush sounds of the DSO to revive the majesty and charm of Celtic culture. “Danny Boy,” “Marie’s Wedding,” and “O’Neill’s March” never sounded so moving and magnificent.
