“Taking Bach out of the museum and infusing it with equal parts tradition, funk, whimsy, and fun!”
Flutist Emi Ferguson is quickly becoming a major classical celebrity. Her penchant for cutting-edge performances of unusual arrangements for her instrument has brought her wide-spread attention.
Her newest album takes a funky fresh approach to J.S. Bach’s Flute Sonatas and Keyboard Preludes performed flawlessly for flute and ensemble. We’ll be playing tracks off the album all week long.
