Radiant and alive with color, this program spotlights the flute’s expressive brilliance—brought vividly to life by the perpetually boundary-pushing Emi Ferguson. Lauded for her “tonal bloom” and “hauntingly beautiful performances,” she brings a singular flair that seamlessly bridges Baroque elegance and modern creativity. From sparkling concertos to majestic chorales, be swept away by her artistry and the exuberant spirit of Bach and Telemann.
