Fire and Grace

News Release

For Immediate Release

 

Virtuoso performers William Coulter (guitarist) and Edwin Huizinga (violinist) explore the musical landscape of classical, folk and contemporary traditions from around the world in their Fire & Grace concert in Lake Country November 7th.

“The Fire & Grace concert on Thursday, November 7, 2019 is a collaborative co-production of the North Okanagan Community Concert Association (NOCCA) and Creekside Theatre,” said Ryan Donn, Cultural Development Coordinator. “We’ve been expanding the live entertainment offerings at Creekside Theatre to cater to a wider audience, and the Fire & Grace 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.” 

 

Fire & Grace is a unique collaboration between guitarist William Coulter and violinist Edwin Huizinga. The concert program will include music by J.S. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Astor Piazolla, music from Riverdance, traditional Irish and Bulgarian selections and more!

 

Jim Boyd, NOCCA’s president and Janet Parkins, artistic director said:  “We are so looking forward to this concert! Guitar and violin complement each other beautifully. Experiencing these two masters of their craft in this very strong collaboration, playing this wonderful music live, promises to be a very special evening.”

 

Performing both baroque and modern repertoire, Canadian violinist Edwin Huizinga has appeared alongside Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Renée Fleming, Dawn Upshaw, Mike Marshall, and Stevie Wonder, and has been featured as a symphony soloist.  Edwin is a founding member of the baroque ensemble ACRONYM which has released eight full-length albums of previously unknown and unrecorded baroque music, and tours extensively with Tafelmusik.

 

Born and raised on a farm just outside of Guelph, Ontario, at five years old Edwin started playing violin and at fourteen he began studying with one of his biggest mentors – the legendary Markus Furious, otherwise known as Mark Fewer. He graduated with a Master’s degree in violin performance from San Francisco Conservatory of Music where he also had the opportunity to be concertmaster.

 

“At the moment, I call Toronto my home, although anyone that knows me well might nickname me a wandering minstrel,” said violinist Edwin Huizinga. “I have been traveling a lot the last few years performing with baroque, folk, rock, contemporary, classical, improvising, jazz, and celtic musicians from all over the world. When I originally moved to San Francisco, we dedicated every single Sunday evening to performing chamber music at a bar on the corner of 22nd and Valencia called the Revolution Café. There lies the birth of Classical Revolution.”

 

William Coulter is an internationally acclaimed, Grammy award-winning master of the steel-string guitar. Collaborations have been a mainstay of his career with classical guitar virtuoso Benjamin Verdery, Irish flute wizard Brian Finnegan, among others. Coulter has been Music Director for Tomaseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas since 1998, and has performed with the Santa Cruz Baroque Festival, Apollo’s Fire and many other ensembles. In March 2016 he debuted Celtic Journey, a full-length pops concert with the Omaha Symphony featuring Irish singers, dancers, musicians and storyteller.

Tickets are still available for the concert scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Thursday, November 7, 2019 at the Creekside Theatre, 10241 Bottom Wood Lake Road in Lake Country. Tickets are $34.95 and are available online at www.creeksidetheatre.ca or from Kelowna Tickets at www.kelowntickets.com or 250-862-2867.
