Unearth early music's most playful works, reimagined with roots music energy.

Ruckus is a shapeshifting, collaborative ensemble with a visceral and playful approach to early music. The NYC-based ensemble 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). Ruckus' core is a continuo group, the baroque equivalent of a jazz rhythm section: guitars, keyboards, cello, bassoon and bass. Its members are among the most creative and virtuosic performers in North American early music. At the Hop, they are joined by flutist Emi Ferguson and violinist Rachell Ellen Wong to perform Strawberry Fields, a program featuring works by Handel and Sancho, and English Country Dances.

Listen (and even dance) your way through the future of the past.
