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. Workshops will take place the week of April 15, with programs at the Medina County Juvenile Detention Center, the Western Reserve Masonic Community, I Promise School, Kent State University and the HMS Conservatory of Music in Hudson. A culminating free concert will take place on Sunday, April 21, 2024, at 2 pm at the Akron-Summit County Public Library, 60 South High Street, Akron, OH 44326.
