About This Performance

The 2023 Avery Fisher Career Grant-winning flutist Emi Ferguson and the “soulful” and “eloquent” (Musical America) harpist Ashley Jackson enrich us with a range of global sounds in The Enchanted Dawn. This inspired collaboration between two boundary-breaking artists reveals points of intersection across genres, centuries, and continents.
