Now entering its 27th season, Apollo s Fire has performed sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall, the BBC Proms, the Royal Theatre of Madrid, the Tanglewood Festival, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and more! But what the Apollo s Fire musicians love most is bringing world-class performances to your doorstep in a continuous tour of Northeast Ohio neighborhoods. We love playing for our amazing home audience one of the three largest baroque audiences in the country! 2Roger Mastroianni Founding Artistic Director Jeannette Sorrell is praised for her inspired leadership (THE INDEPENDENT, London) and revelatory performances (OPERA NEWS). Apollo s Fire is dedicated to reviving the true spirit of baroque performances not only with period instruments, but with the emotional impact the music was meant to convey. Passion. Period.
