BACHtoberfest Weekend:Emi Ferguson has performed with artists like Yo-Yo Ma and Paul Simon, Baroque and Early Music ensembles like Handel & Haydn Society and Ruckus. After a wildly successful Music Worcester concert in July 2025, she returns for a complete performance of Bach’s Flute Sonatas, a collection of works for the instrument with harpsichord.
Bach’s Flute Sonatas are a treasure for the listener and an undertaking for the performer. Rich with a balance of lyricism and virtuosic elements, hearing this program in full offers a delightful insight to the vast possibilities of what the flute can do. In addition to J.S. Bach’s Flute Sonatas (BWV 1020, 1030-32), she performs two CPE Bach sonatas: Sonata in G Major for Keyboard and Flute, Wq 85, and Sonata in C Major for Keyboard and Flute, Wq 87. CPE Bach, JS Bach’s fifth child, was a pivotal composer during the transition from Baroque to Classical eras. He wrote in a style similar to his father, but pushed forward with the developing Classical trends of the time; his writings and works would go on to be studied by Beethoven, Mozart, and others.
Program:
J.S. Bach – BWV 1031, Sonata in Eb Major (1730)
CPE Bach – Sonata in C Major, Wq 87
J.S. Bach – BWV 1020, Sonata in G Minor (1740)
J.S. Bach – BWV 1032, Sonata in A Major (1736)
CPE Bach – Sonata in G Major, Wq 85
J.S. Bach – BWV 1030, Sonata in B Minor (1737)
