Festival Orchestra
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.
They will also be sharing beautiful and iconic songs, including Danny Boy. Maeve Gilchrist, a creative composer and harpist, sings Bee’s Wing and will share one of her original compositions along with her favorite Scottish and Irish airs and dances. Edwin and William, also known as Fire & Grace, are two virtuoso performers who explore the musical landscape of classical, folk, and contemporary traditions from around the world. Join us on this voyage!
