‘Toward the Sea’ brings together three works for flute and guitar which explore memory, place and transformation.
Emi Ferguson and Michael Poll trace a journey from the dance halls of Buenos Aires in Astor Piazzolla’s Histoire du Tango, through the luminous stillness of Elizabeth Ogonek’s Altair, to the meditative sound world of Tōru Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea.
Recorded at the Stone Church in rural Massachusetts, the programme reflects the duo’s artistic partnership, which began through online collaborations during the Pandemic before developing into live performances across the United States. Their own arrangement of Ogonek’s Altair sits naturally between two landmark works, highlighting the continuing vitality of the flute and guitar repertoire.
Ferguson, an Avery Fisher Career Grant recipient, and Poll, equally active as a guitarist and conductor, approach this repertoire as equal musical partners, allowing the distinctive voices of flute and guitar to emerge across music that ranges from Piazzolla’s rhythmic vitality to Takemitsu’s suspended, atmospheric sound world.
