The Musical Offering by Johann Sebastian Bach was a response to a challenge from Frederick the Great of Prussia to create six-voice fugue based on a theme (supposedly) written by the King. Bach Akademie Charlotte will perform Bach's famous gift to the monarch, as well as works by other members of the Bach family, in a concert at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in Charlotte. One of Bach Akademie's artistic leaders, cellist Guy Fishman, will lead the concert, and flutist Emi Ferguson, a 2023 recipient of the Avery Fisher Career Grant, will be featured in her first ever Charlotte performance. Rachel talks with Guy and Emi about performing this masterpiece which so beautifully answers Frederick's challenge.
