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. Dedicated to evoking the passions of baroque music, the group has toured North America and Europe and released seventeen recordings, performing at top venues including the Boston Early Music Festival, the Aspen Music Festival, and the Library of Congress. Apollo’s Fire is broadcast frequently on National Public Radio, Canada’s CBC, and Britain’s BBC. Their 2010 release of the Monteverdi Vespers reached the Top Ten on the classical Billboard chart.

“Apollo’s Fire is one of the brightest lights of period-instrument playing in the United States… arguably the most distinctive in sound and memorable in style. Its trademark qualities: expressive subtlety, exuberance and passion.”

Classical Music Magazine, London
