Guitarist

Ruckus is a “shapeshifting” Baroque band with a fresh, visceral approach to early music, formed by some of today’s leading soloists of this repertoire. Their collaboration with acclaimed English-American flutist Emi Ferguson, recorded for Ruckus’s acclaimed debut album, Fly The Coop, is a joyous, kaleidoscopic romp through some of Bach’s most playful and transcendent works. Savor these new arrangements of Bach’s flute sonatas and keyboard preludes that explode his bass lines into a rainbow of textures and colors, continually shifting like light over the landscape as Ferguson’s flute lines dance above.

Ruckus with Emi Ferguson, flute: Fly the Coop

Hobby Center for the Performing Arts

What creative genius’ work has permeated the culture and had more influence than that of the Bard himself? Join us for this intermission-free Wednesday evening event as we enjoy music from Shakespeare’s time and hear some of his most famous words composed into song. Following Korngold’s popular incidental music for the comedy Much Ado About Nothing, composed in 1920, we conclude with Beethoven’s “Ghost” Piano Trio, which came out of sketches for an opera based on Macbeth that he never completed. Stay after the concert for a special event in the Wu Tsai QRT.yrd to enjoy more music and a feast featuring the best of San Diego’s culinary and craft cocktail scene!

Join us for the musical prelude with Pelia Quartet for a performance of Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 10 in E-flat Major, Op. 74 “Harp.”

Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center

The Baroque period contains riches that inspired composers above any other. We begin with J.S Bach’s immortal concerto for two violins, and continue to explore some of the most captivating pieces of his era and beyond, with C.P.E. Bach’s (his son) Cello Concerto, Biber’s brilliant and irreverent Battalia, a commentary on the Thirty Year War that engulfed Europe at the time, and Grosso Mogul, Vivaldi’s fiery and dazzling concerto.
