Ruckus, feat. Emi Ferguson & Rachell Ellen Wong
CAMERATA PACIFICA BAROQUE
music of G.F. Handel and Ignatius Sancho
This March, Camerata Pacifica Baroque presents a captivating journey through 18th-century England's vibrant musical landscape, featuring the return of audience favorites violinist Rachell Ellen Wong and baroque continuo band Ruckus, alongside Music Director and flutist Emi Ferguson. The program showcases the works of two remarkable composers who, though never meeting, shared a world and a passion for music and dance: George Frideric Handel and Ignatius Sancho.
While Handel and Sancho never met each other, they inhabited the same world and shared one thing for certain: the transcendent joy that comes from a life of music and dance with good company. And if there is one thing that encapsulates the joy of togetherness in 18th-century England it was the English Country Dance. Sweating, laughing, spinning, holding hands…. Propelled onwards by the unrelenting groove of the music.
