Ruckus is a shapeshifting, collaborative baroque ensemble with a visceral and playful approach to early music. The ensemble debuted in Handel’s Aci, Galatea e Polifemo in a production directed by Christopher Alden featuring Anthony Roth Costanzo, Ambur Braid and Davóne Tines at National Sawdust. The band’s playing earned widespread critical acclaim: “achingly delicate one moment, incisive and punchy the next” (New York Times); “superb” (Opera News).

RK Cultural Productions proudly presents Leland Ko for his first Miami-area appearance. This young cellist of Canadian Chinese descent is a graduate of Princeton, New England Conservatory, and Juilliard and brings to the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center the music of Kodaly, Bartok, and Bright Sheng, all resplendent with invigorating folk themes.
