Fire & Grace is an eclectic collaboration between Grammy Award-winning guitarist William Coulter and violinist Edwin Huizinga.

On Thursday, August 22, they play Adamstown Uniting Church in concert at 7.30pm for approximately an hour.

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.

Performing both baroque and modern repertoire, Canadian violinist Edwin Huizinga has appeared alongside Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Dawn Upshaw, Mike Marshall, and Stevie Wonder, and has been featured as a soloist with the San Bernardino Symphony, the Sweetwater Music Festival, the Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival, and the Banff Summer Arts Festival.

He is a founding member of the baroque ensemble ACRONYM which has released six full-length albums of previously unknown and unrecorded baroque music.

He also performs with Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra.

Guitarist William Coulter has been performing and recording traditional guitar music for more than 20 years.

His solo recording, The Road Home (Gourd Music) was met with critical acclaim, and in 2005, he received a Grammy Award for his contribution to The Pink Guitar, a collection of solo guitar arrangements of Henry Mancini's music.

Coulter maintains a classical guitar studio at the University of California at Santa Cruz and teaches at many music camps.

The two most recently collaborated with mandolin player Ashley Broder, producing an album, Partita Americana, an exquisitely tasty album with a twist on some American classics like Orange Blossom Special.

This tour, on the back of a recent show at Carmel-By-The-Sea in Monterey, California, takes in venues Nelson and Napier in New Zealand as well as the Blue Mountains, Bowral and Clifton in Australia.
