About the Event Experience the music of J.S. Bach like never before as flutist Emi Ferguson and Ruckus break free from tradition, taking the composer’s timeless music into a vibrant new realm. Blending tradition with funk, whimsy, and fun, they invite you on a kaleidoscopic journey through some of Bach’s most playful and transcendent works with ever-evolving arrangements for baroque flute and the dynamic forces of Ruckus—featuring baroque bassoon, cello, guitars, harpsichord, theorbo, and bass. Interwoven throughout the program are Ruckus’ imaginative arrangements of Bach’s iconic and lesser-known keyboard works. Movements from The Well-Tempered Clavier, selections from his French Suites, and early drafts from the Anna Magdalena and Wilhelm Friedrich notebooks all make appearances. Bach’s deep love of family and friends resonates through these pieces, and as Ferguson explains, “These arrangements are our love letter and homage to the sense of community imbued in his work.” Embrace that sense of connection and join this wild musical adventure—where the stage itself becomes part of the performance, and you become part of the Bach-inspired community.
