Countertenor Reginald Mobley joins early-music ensemble Ruckus, flutist Emi Ferguson, and violinist Rachel Ellen Wong, in a program dedicated to the music of Ignatius Sancho (b. 1729)—composer, writer, and the first known Black Briton to vote in a parliamentary election. Sancho’s songs and courtly dances, drawn from his published collections, offer a window into the vibrant social and artistic life of 18th-century London. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Gainsborough: The Fashion of Portraiture, this performance celebrates Sancho’s legacy as a composer, man of letters, and key figure in the cultural landscape of his time.
