Ruckus Baroque
Friends of Chamber Music and Concerts on Carter Creek present Ruckus, a joyous Baroque ensemble from the East Coast, in a FREE concert at First Presbyterian Church in Bryan on Sunday, November 10 at 5 PM.
A surprisingly visceral and playful approach of Ruckus ensemble to the music of Baroque promises a light-spirited evening of pleasant discoveries in “Strawberry Fields,” a program of dance music from the 18th century, starting at 5 PM and featuring Emi Ferguson on flute and Rachell Ellen Wong on violin. Other instruments for this program include flute, violin, bassoon, cello, Baroque guitars, bass & harpsichord.
At 4:15 PM the audience will enjoy a Pre-Concert performance by The Nguyen Studio Ensemble of low-string instruments. Following concert, guest musicians will answer questions from the audience during Artists’ Forum.
Described by the San Francisco Classical Voice as “the world’s only period-instrument rock band” and consisted of guitars, keyboards, cello, bassoon, and bass, – the Baroque equivalent of a jazz rhythm section, Ruckus aims to fuse the early-music movement’s questing, creative spirit with the grit, groove, and jangle of American roots music, creating a unique sound of “rough-edged intensity” (New Yorker) that’s “achingly delicate one moment, incisive and punchy the next” (New York Times). The group’s members are among the most creative and virtuosic performers in North American early music.
Date: November 10th at 5pm
Location: First Presbyterian Church in Bryan
