<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Ohio Regional Music Arts and Cultural Outreach (ORMACO) presents Fire & Grace for its Spring 2024 World Tour of Music Residency. Fire & Grace is an eclectic collaboration between California-based
guitarist William Coulter and Oberlin College Conservatory violinist Edwin Huizinga. 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.</span></p>
