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. Sorrell envisioned an ensemble dedicated to the baroque ideal that music should evoke the various Affekts or passions in the listeners. Apollo’s Fire is a collection of creative artists who share Sorrell’s passion for drama and rhetoric.
Renowned countertenor Reggie Mobley joins 4 Apollo’s Fire friends on strings and lute/guitar to explore the baroque roots of Jazz and the Blues. Love songs from 1630 morph into ballads from 1930. Purcell meets Gershwin, as the spirit of improvisation melts the walls of time.
With Ashlee Foreman, soprano; Brian Kay, guitar & percussion; Alan Choo, violin; René Schiffer, cello.
