Concert: Ruckus with Emi Ferguson and Violinist Rachell Ellen Wong

Flutist Emi Ferguson and violinist Rachell Ellen Wong join the continuo band Ruckus in Fly the Coop! Bach / Sonatas and Preludes, a wild technicolor romp through some of Bach’s most playful and transcendent works reimagined and realized for twenty first-century fans of eighteenth-century performance practice. Having earned widespread critical acclaim for its fresh, visceral approach to early music, Ruckus’ core members form the baroque equivalent of a rhythm section: guitars, keyboards, cello, bassoon, and bass. The ensemble aims to fuse the early-music movement’s questing, creative spirit with the grit, groove, and jangle of American roots music, creating a unique and vital sound.

Free. Bring a picnic and your own seating.
