Apollo’s Fire

GRAMMY® Award-winning Apollo’s Fire brings its vivacious sound to The Breakers for an evening of baroque brilliance. Led by visionary harpsichordist and conductor Jeannette Sorrell, the ensemble is America’s most active-touring baroque orchestra, and is celebrated for performances that are not only deeply expressive, but truly capture heart of the baroque period. “Sorrell and her dazzling period band… are incandescent” (The Sunday Times, London), and their playing animates baroque music with “European stylishness with American entrepreneurialism,” inviting listeners to experience this repertoire not as history, but as something thrillingly alive.
