Apollos Fire (4/12-13)

Saturday April 12th and Sunday April 13th, 2008

Taking its name from the classical god of music and the sun, Apollo’s Fire is dedicated to the performance of 17th- and 18th-century music on the period instruments for which it was written. Music Director Jeannette Sorrell gathers a select pool of dynamic and creative early-music artists from throughout North America and Europe. The ensemble has been praised internationally for stylistic freshness and buoyancy, animated spontaneity, technical excellence, and for the creativity of Sorrell’s programming.

“Energy, discipline, style and pizzazz… One of America’s leading Baroque orchestras, capable of competing with Europe’s much-recorded bands.” - The Boston Globe
