ADAMS, Mass—Early music band Ruckus is back at the Adams Theater on Friday, Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. for "The Scottish Corelli with Ruckus," joined by violinist Keir GoGwilt. 

According to a press release:

The wild spirit of the highlands meets the elegance of Baroque music in this special musical program, blending the earthy drive of Scottish jigs and reels with the luminous grace of Arcangelo Corelli’s sonatas. Expect the band to dance between folk exuberance and baroque refinement; this is something new woven from musicians who are accustomed to playing across genres. 

Ruckus, led by its core team of continuo masters, is a barrier-breaking baroque band. Its playing has been described as "achingly delicate one moment, incisive and punchy the next" (New York Times). The band recently released a new album with GoGwilt, "The Edinburgh Rollick," which celebrates the work of legendary Perthshire fiddler Niel Gow. They performed this program together at Lincoln Center in NYC this past March. 

Tickets are $22.99-$35 including fees. Reserve tickets and see our full season lineup at www.adamstheater.org/events
