“From Folk to Baroque” Fire & Grace is a unique collaboration between guitarist William Coulter and violinist Edwin Huizinga. These virtuoso performers explore the musical landscape of classical, folk, and contemporary traditions from around the world, all played with the elements of passion and virtuosity—fire and grace—found in these
diverse traditions.

Ruckus and violin virtuoso Keir GoGwilt celebrate the legacy of Niel Gow (1727–1807), one of Scotland’s most important musicians, in this dynamic folk-Baroque feast of Scottish dance music. Weaving together these jubilant, hard-driving and nostalgic tunes into large-scale dramatic forms with 7 musicians, Ruckus and GoGwilt bring the 18th-century tradition of blending folk and art music to the present day.

Joining us from Windsor Castle in England, the a cappella ensemble The Queen’s Six has performed at Royal weddings and funerals and at the Met Cloisters in New York, the Salzburg Bach Society, and the Baroque opera house in Bavaria. Their repertoire extends from early chant and Renaissance to madrigals, folk songs and even some jazz and pop. This is a rare opportunity to hear them in the U.S., not to be missed.

With guitars, bass, drums, and washboard, this jazz ensemble is led by Stephane Wrembel. Born in Paris and influenced by legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt, Wrembel has headlined stages at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall in New York City, and the Lyon Opera House in France. Known for playing original compositions and classics in the “gypsy jazz’ style, the quartet will also perform selections of contemporary and world music.
