Embracing works from the Old and New Worlds, Camerata Pacifica continues its 34th season with “From Bach to Bolivia,” the first of two programs in its new Camerata Pacifica Baroque series featuring period instruments and curated by acclaimed flutist Emi Ferguson. The repertoire for the inaugural Baroque concert includes five seminal Bach chamber works: Prelude and Fugue; Trio Sonata No. 5; Prelude; Trio Sonata No. 2; and Toccata and Fugue. They are set against six anonymous chamber works composed during the same era in Bolivia, which were rediscovered in the past 20 years in the Chiquitos Music Archives housed in a Bolivian Jesuit mission church and compiled by Dr. Piotr Nawrot. Bridging Bach’s masterworks and the anonymous works composed on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean is La Folia by Doménico Zipoli, an Italian composer who completed his musical training in Europe before moving in 1717 to Córdoba in Spanish Colonial America (now in Argentina), where he served as music director for the local Jesuit church.

Adding luster to the eclectic program are Katie Hyun, a violin “virtuoso by any measure” (The Berkshire Review); cellist Coleman Itzkoff, praised for his “flawless technique and keen musicality” (The New Yorker); and Mikael Darmanie, a gifted cross-genre pianist noted for championing music of the African diaspora. Joining them is Ferguson, “a glorious flutist” (Los Angeles Times) who was awarded a 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant. Ferguson has previously appeared twice with Camerata Pacifica, including last season with RUCKUS.

Camerata Pacifica’s second and final Baroque program this season, “Camerata Pacifica Baroque: The French Dispatch,” which offers a selection of rarely heard French Baroque repertoire, is set for April 21-26, 2023.
