Named for the classical god of music and the sun, Apollo’s Fire was founded in 1992 by the award-winning young harpsichordist and conductor Jeannette Sorrell. Apollo’s Fire is a collection of creative artists who share Sorrell’s passion for drama and rhetoric.

The ensemble has toured throughout North America and made its European debut tour in November 2010, to standing ovations in Spain and the Netherlands, and a sold-out crowd at London’s Wigmore Hall.

Apollo’s Fire has released 17 commercial CD’s, and currently records for the British label AVIE. The recordings have won rave reviews in the London press: “a swaggering version, brilliantly played” (THE TIMES). The fall 2010 release of the Monteverdi Vespers made the Top 10 on the classical Billboard chart. Apollo’s Fire is broadcast frequently on National Public Radio, Canada’s CBC, Britain’s BBC, and the European Broadcasting Union. The ensemble’s television special “Discovering Vivaldi,” produced by Cleveland’s PBS television station, will begin national syndication on PBS stations in 2011.
