Early music band Ruckus and AMOC* member Keir GoGwilt celebrate the legacy of Niel Gow (b. Perthshire, 1727-1807), one of Scotland’s most important musicians, with the New York premiere of a dynamic folk-baroque feast of Scottish dance music. Weaving together these jubilant, hard-driving and nostalgic tunes into large-scale dramatic forms, Ruckus and GoGwilt bring the 18th-century tradition of blending folk and art music to the present day. The evening is presented in collaboration with Nadia Sirota’s Living Music Underground.
