Apollo's FIre s 5

Welcome to Apollo’s Fire’s 30th Anniversary Celebration Concert, Mozart and the Chevalier! These 30 years have been a glorious journey – from a Barn in Hunting Valley to Carnegie Hall and the Proms, a coveted GRAMMY® award, and accolades across the globe. This year, Apollo’s Fire has performed in 8 cities around the U.S. including a triumphant return to Carnegie Hall in New York (with 2 standing ovations in 1 concert!). Our Artistic Director Jeannette Sorrell made her conducting debut with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in April, following her acclaimed debut with the New York Philharmonic in December. Our “dazzling period band from Cleveland” (SUNDAY TIMES, London) has won the hearts of audiences across the country and the world. What a year! We are so glad you are here to celebrate with us. Tonight’s 30th anniversary concert features two significant composers—W.A. Mozart & Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. Mozart, clearly one of the most influential composers of Western classical music, was actually influenced by Bologne, a beloved violin soloist, composer, and champion fencing master, who was 10 years older than Mozart. Hearing these two composers side by side is thought-provoking. Do you have your copy of AF’s latest hit CD? O Jerusalem! – City of Three Faiths was released two months ago and possibly has won more kudos from European critics than any other Apollo’s Fire album. The DAILY TELEGRAPH (London) wrote, “Sorrell is one of those idealistic souls like Jordi Savall who use their musicmaking to suggest that despite political enmities, the peoples of East and West can find common ground in music… perhaps even learn to live together. Listening to this wonderful, inspiring CD one could almost believe it.” We hope to see you on June 11, when this landmark season culminates in the festive 30th Anniversary Gala at the Cleveland Museum of Art – Resplendent: An (Un?)Masked Ball. Let us take you back to a Viennese ballroom, with cocktails, dinner, wine, a fabulous silent auction, and a mini-concert. Tickets are going fast! Please join us to toast three decades of magnificent concerts. (See pg. 40) Finally, we greet the summer with the thrilling return of our Countryside Concerts, this year including performances at the Holden Arboretum. Jeannette leads the merry band in a new program of rustic Celtic music from ancient times, featuring haunting ballads, toe-tapping fiddle tunes, and a little storytelling. (See insert for more details.) From our debut concert in 1992 and for 30 years, you have supported and nurtured this ensemble. You have been an inspiration and we are ever grateful. With your support we hope to continue this journey for the next decade and beyond. Thank you, and enjoy tonight’s performance!

LEADERSHIP SPOTLIGHT Apollo’s Fire is grateful to its volunteer Board of Directors for their dedicated leadership. We are proud to initiate the Leadership Spotlight series in honor of these individuals who give tirelessly of their time to Apollo’s Fire. THANK YOU!

KIM PARRY Member of the Board of Directors As a recent transplant from Pasadena, California, to Cleveland, Kim Parry attended her first Apollo’s Fire concert in 2003 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. The marriage of musicianship, education and beautiful programming was unlike anything she’d experienced culturally. Residing in Shaker Heights, she then hosted a house concert for Apollo’s Fire in 2007, furthering her passion for the orchestra with the sense that her home was forever transformed by the stunning music performed in her living room. With a decade’s background in sales and marketing for Fortune 100 and 500 companies, she transitioned to non-profit work in Cleveland, holding multiple roles at COSE/Greater Cleveland Partnership. She was then asked to consider becoming the first Director of Development for Apollo’s Fire in 2013. Thrilled to work with Jeannette Sorrell and the orchestra that she’d long admired, she accepted and spearheaded the first in-house gala for Apollo’s Fire in 2014 at Hathaway Brown School to great acclaim. In 2015, she joined the major gifts team at Cleveland Museum of Art, working directly with individual donors to secure significant philanthropic support. Kim also joined the Board of Directors of Apollo’s Fire in 2015, serving the Board of Directors in a variety of capacities. She is proud to contribute to two of Cleveland’s finest cultural institutions. Both her daughter Devin in Columbus, Ohio, and her son Carter, in Honolulu, Hawaii, continue to listen to Apollo’s Fire on WCLV on satellite radio. It was a Parry morning household staple and the tradition happily continues.

Notes on the Progam

Mozart and the Chevalier: Two Fascinating Geniuses by Jeannette Sorrell

16 s Mozart and the Chevalier

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges

In the summer of 1778, the elegant mansion of the Duke of Orléans in Paris was home to two composers. Both were geniuses, though in quite different ways. Both had grown up as renowned child prodigies. Both were to encounter challenges being accepted by society, though for very different reasons. One of them was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a 22-year-old Austrian from the small town of Salzburg. He was the son of a professional violinist. The other was Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges – the 32-year-old

1780 Map of Guadeloupe, West Indies

Mozart and the Chevalier son of an enslaved African girl and her white master. Joseph Bologne had been born in the French colony of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean. His father was the wealthy French plantation owner, Georges Bologne. Georges Bologne’s wife had a personal maid called Nanon, who was one of many enslaved Africans who had been forcibly brought to the Caribbean from Senegal. Nanon was only 16 when she gave birth to her master’s son. However, Georges Bologne did acknowledge the baby and gave him his own surname, Bologne. By the time that Bologne and Mozart shared that mansion in Paris in the summer of 1778, Bologne had become the darling of Paris and all of France. How did this happen? Having overcome racial prejudice and various anti-Negro laws at every step of the way, the 32-year-old had become France’s most prominent violin soloist and the conductor of the finest orchestra in Paris. He had also been granted the title of chevalier (knight) by the King of France. (Under French law, Bologne was not allowed to inherit his father’s title of nobility due to his African mother. Instead, he won the title at the age of 19, after beating France’s national fencing champion in a highly prominent fencing match.)

And so, Mozart arrived at the ducal mansion stricken and grieving – and with not much to do. Bologne, on the other hand, was very busy. Aside from his post as conductor of a renowned Paris orchestra, he was also the music director of the private opera theatre at the Duke’s mansion. In addition, he was employed by the Duke as Lieutenant de la chasse of his vast hunting grounds just outside of Paris. Bologne was renowned for his riding skills, athletic prowess, and

Mozart and the Chevalier s 17

Mozart, on the other hand, was struggling in Paris. He had arrived in the spring, accompanied by his mother. It was soon clear that the attention he had received in earlier visits, during his childhood as a prodigy, was no longer forthcoming. Visits to wealthy aristocrats led to nothing. He did receive a commission to compose a sinfonia concertante (more on this later), but when he delivered the manuscript, it was put aside and not performed. Finally in June, his “Paris” Symphony was performed and was well received. But misfortune Anna Maria Mozart struck soon. His mother fell ill and died on July 3. The grieving young man was taken in by the Duke of Orléans. This is how Mozart came to stay in the Duke’s mansion for the second half of the summer.

Notes on the Program (continued) personal charm, as well as fencing, violin performance, conducting, and composing. He also later became a colonel in the army of the French Revolution. Mozart was a social misfit who tragically failed to win support from the aristocracy in any country. In that summer of 1778, did the busy and successful Bologne have much time to spend with the young and grieving Mozart during their two months together? Did they play violin and piano sonatas together? Did they pore over manuscripts together? Were they friends? We will probably never know. But what we do know is that Mozart was significantly influenced by Bologne’s music. To give one example, Mozart’s beloved Sinfonia Concertante, which he composed during that 1778 stay in Paris, bears strong resemblance to pieces that Bologne had already written. Whether or not Bologne showed Mozart any manuscripts, the fact is that Mozart would have heard these pieces performed in Paris. A genius like Mozart only needed to hear a piece of music once, in order to memorize it and visualize the score in his head.

18 s Mozart and the Chevalier

Mozart in 1777

Tonight we hear the music of these two geniuses side by side. This does not mean they are exact equivalents. Bologne was one of the composers who paved the way for Mozart by forging the classical style. Mozart, arriving on earth ten years later, came at the moment when the classical style was poised to reach its culmination. Bologne was an extraordinary violinist who pushed the limits of violin technique, bringing the classical violin concerto to a new level. Mozart’s gift was to create timeless miracles of composition that drew on the voices around him, including Bologne’s voice.

Mozart’s Don Giovanni and Exsultate, jubilate Our program opens with the overture from Mozart’s groundbreaking opera, Don Giovanni. This is a later work of Mozart, and his power as a dramatist is in full force. In this dramma giocoso, dark drama and buffo laughter live side by side. The stunning opening of the Overture foreshadows the climactic moment in the opera: the stone statue of the murdered Commendatore comes to life and damns Giovanni to hell.

Mozart and the Chevalier The despair and resentment that we hear in the music may have come easily to Mozart, for at this time he was caught in the 18th-century equivalent of “credit card debt.” He was unable to provide for his family. Did he contemplate a dark eternal future at this point? Whether or not this may have been an element in his thoughts, the laughter was always there. After the frightening introduction, the Overture shows us the buffo side of the opera and the recurring merriment of its composer (who composed this overture only two days before the opera’s premier, having been locked in a room by friends in order to make him do it). By contrast, the motet Exsultate, jubilate was one of Mozart’s earlier works, composed at age 19 when he was staying in Milan. Mozart wrote this piece for a particular castrato singer whose technical excellence he admired. The sunny and joyful text is Latin, making it acceptable for church use, but the piece is really a concert aria. Following a lively first movement, a sunny recitative leads into a serene Andante following by a joyful Alleluia.

The Chevalier and his Music Few musicians have led a life as fascinating and multifaceted as Bologne’s. Recounting it, however, is an exercise in educated guesswork. The facts are scantily and contradictorily documented. Even the spelling of his name is a subject of confusion. If you look him up, you will see both Bologne and Boulogne. To make matters worse, a 19th-century romantic novel by Roger de Beauvoir, titled “Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges,” blended fact and fiction.

Mozart and the Chevalier s 19

Young Joseph had every reason to expect a life of oppression and poverty. French law prohibited children of mixed parentage from inheriting anything from their parents. To understand the world that Bologne faced, we need to grasp the shocking words of the colonial lawyer Hilliard d’Auberteuil, who expressed the sentiments of the time: “Policy and security demand that we crush the race of the blacks with such contempt, that whoever descends from it even to the sixth generation should be marked by an indelible stain.” However, George Bologne decided to escape from the worst of this racism by moving his household to France – including young Joseph and his mother Nanon. They set sail Detail from Passenger List of Le Bien-Aimé, showing St. Georges and his son, “mulatto” J’h across the Atlantic in 1753. Joseph (Joseph) landing in France on August 7, 1753 was eight years old.

Notes on the Program (continued)

Joseph Bologne in 1768, age 23

In Paris, Joseph attended boarding school where he excelled with extraordinary success. He mastered swordsmanship, dancing, and music. By the time he was 16, his fame as a teenage fencing prodigy led to a hostile challenge from the reigning fencing champion of France. The challenge came along with insults about Joseph’s mixed race. Joseph accepted the challenge. The duel was highly publicized and became a focal point for debate between pro-slavery and abolitionist groups. Joseph won the fencing match easily, much to the joy of his many friends and supporters. He became even more famous.

20 s Mozart and the Chevalier

The dexterity evident in his fencing also characterized his violin playing. As you will hear, his violin writing is far more virtuosic than Mozart’s. His violin concertos make extensive use of the highest hand positions on the neck of the violin, as well as the newly invented Tourte bow, longer and heavier than previous bows. This allowed him to achieve bold strokes and vigorous arpeggiated figuration in fast movements, as well as long, lyrical lines in slow movements. In the lively first movement of Bologne’s Violin Concerto in D Major, a distinctive virtuosic gesture appears in a difficult solo violin sequence – climbing to the highest register of the instrument, immediately followed by a dramatic dip down to the lowest string. This was a trademark Bologne figure, and it appears in other Bologne concertos as well as this one. This figure had never appeared in Mozart’s music, until 1778 when Mozart was staying in Paris and composed his Sinfonia Concertante. Mozart clearly modeled his Sinfonia Concertante on Bologne’s two pieces of that style. Among other things, Mozart copied the ascending figure with the dramatic dip down – which Bologne had already used a few years earlier. The slow movement of the Violin Concerto seems to evoke an Eastern European or gypsy/Romani landscape. The mysterious and improvisatory introduction sets the stage for a simple folk tune that lies dark and low in the strings. This is followed by two variations – one major and one minor. The second variation is almost akin to Klezmer fiddle music. L’Amant Anonyme is Bologne’s only complete surviving opera. It premiered in 1780. The plot focuses on the difficulties of romance among people from different

Mozart and the Chevalier socioeconomic classes. The aristocratic heroine Léontine is in love with a lower ranking man named Valcour, who has been a friend of Léontine’s family for years. Valcour is afraid to declare his love for Leontine due to the class difference between them. Likewise, Léontine struggles to muster the courage to declare her love for Valcour. In the recitative and aria that we perform, Bologne uses the stylistic techniques of Sturm und Drang to present Léontine’s internal struggles. Is the character Valcour a reflection of Bologne himself, welcome in artistocratic Title page from L’Amant Anonyme society up to a point, but not allowed to marry in that circle? Bologne was quite popular in the salons and boudoirs of the Parisian ladies, and we know that he enjoyed some romances. But he was forbidden by law to marry a white woman. He never married.

Mozart and the Haffner Symphony

Mozart and the Chevalier s 21

A few years after that trip to Paris, Mozart was living in Vienna – and things started going well. He composed a groundbreaking and sensationally popular opera, the Abduction from the Seraglio, which in 1782 garnered him what we might call Andrew Lloyd-Webber status with the public. And then came an urgent commission from Salzburg: a symphony was needed for the ennoblement ceremonies of Sigismund Haffner. Though Mozart referred to the Haffner piece as a symphony all along, its original form was what we call the “Haffner Serenade” – there were some extra minuets and a march, and the orchestration was less rich. Mozart added the flute and clarinet parts later, for performance in Vienna. He had to compose the piece in a great rush, and yet, the Haffner Symphony is one of those celestial examples of Mozart’s completely other-worldly gifts as a Sigismund Haffner composer.

Notes on the Program (continued) The first movement is a groundbreaking composition, so tightly constructed that the opening motif permeates the entire movement (rather like Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony). Even at the second theme, when the dramatic discourse takes a lyrical turn, the violas are still there, nervously whispering the opening motif. Mozart wrote that this movement “should go with considerable fire.” In addition to fire, it also contains some shockingly bold dissonances: already at the second phrase, the upper and lower strings in canon with each other produce unprepared clashes of the major seventh. This would really startle any 18th-century listener. The second and third movements betray the symphony’s light-hearted roots as a serenade. These are charming and gracious examples of “social” music. The finale, however, displays quite different roots: those of the opera Mozart had just finished writing. The theme of the finale is an adaptation of Osmin’s frenetic aria in Abduction. Though its recycling was no doubt a time-saving measure for Mozart, it was also a brilliant and innovative stroke, for not only the theme but the entire movement has the climactic build-up of an operatic finale. Mozart gave instructions that “this movement should go as fast as possible.” Like Osmin, it should be on the edge.

22 s Mozart and the Chevalier

Postlude In the 240 years that have passed since Mozart and Bologne spent a summer together, one of them has become a household name. The other has been largely forgotten – left out of music history textbooks, or barely mentioned. Though Bologne was extremely successful during his life, his legacy suffered due to state-sponsored racism. During the time of Napoleon, people of color in the arts and other professions were dismissed and banished from publication and performance. The scholar Alain Guédé explains in his book on Bologne that “Napoleon reinstated slavery in 1802, having drowned Toussaint-Louverture’s young Haitian democracy in a sea of blood. This was a second death for ‘the Black Mozart,’ as Saint-Georges was called in the years immediately following his death.” We hope this concert will inspire our audience to further explore both of these fascinating composers. © 2022 Jeannette Sorrell | Cleveland, OH

From the Critics... ‘Messiah’ Unfurls its Glory in the Vaults of a Church

THE NEW YORK TIMES (Anthony Tommasini, chief classical music critic) “Jeannette Sorrell led superb voices and a stylish orchestra in Handel’s classic at Riverside Church. A splendid performance... ‘Messiah’ is so familiar that it’s

difficult for a performance to stand out. But this one did. Sorrell guided a lithe, glowing and elegant performance. Wonderful vitality... spirited choruses sung with rich, robust sound and crisp diction by Apollo’s Singers...”

A ‘Messiah’ As Theater, Where Historical Style Meets Modern Staging

CLASSICAL VOICE NORTH AMERICA (Journal of the Music Critics Association of North America)

Apollo's FIre s 27

“Handel’s piece certainly is beloved, yet its execution depends very much on a conductor’s choices, as the distinguished performance by the New York Philharmonic under Jeannette Sorrell reflected. The founder of Cleveland’s estimable periodinstrument ensemble Apollo’s Fire, Sorrell led a confident, fluid, and (by design) theatrical performance... But the performance’s real trump card was the presence of Apollo’s Singers. Their interventions were pure pleasure: fresh tone, spoton intonation, and excellent ensemble. Around 40 in number, the group also happily proved far more integrated racially than the still very much Caucasian and Asian Philharmonic, a boon for the aspect of community-building these concerts seek to support.”

She currently holds a visiting scholar appointment at Rutgers University, conducting research on the eighteenthcentury composer Ignatius Sancho.

Spanish-born violinist FRANCISCO FULLANA is one of the first international solo violinists to fully embrace and absorb the baroque language of historical performance. Hailed as a “rising star” (BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE), he is the winner of four international violin competitions as well as an Avery Fisher Career Grant. His Carnegie Hall recital debut was noted for its “joy and playfulness in collaboration … it was perfection” (NEW YORK CONCERT REVIEW). As Artist-in-Residence with Apollo’s Fire, he performs with the GRAMMY®-winning period orchestra in 17 concerts during 2021-22, including at Carnegie Hall in March and at Cleveland’s Severance Hall in May. He also shares his love of music and his immigrant story with youth at several Spanish-speaking public schools in Cleveland and Chicago, in collaboration with AF musicians. Fullana’s solo debut album, titled Bach’s Long Shadow, was chosen by BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE as “Instrumental Album of the Month” in July 2021. His recent album of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons with Apollo’s Fire was chosen as no. 3 in the “Best Classical Albums of 2021” by THE TIMES of London.

Born into a family of educators, Francisco was raised in Mallorca and Madrid and was recognized in Spain as a prodigy. He moved to the U.S. at the age of 16 (as an unaccompanied minor) to study at The Juilliard School. His primary teachers and mentors for the next 8 years were Donald Weilerstein, Masao Kawasaki, and Midori. His lifelong fascination with baroque music has influenced both of his prior recordings: his 2018 debut album, Through the Lens of Time (Orchid Classics) and his 2021 solo album, Bach’s Long Shadow, which juxtaposes Bach Partitas on gut strings and baroque setup with virtuoso solo violin works from the next three centuries. As a soloist, his engagements have included the Bayerische Philharmonie, the Münchner Rundfunkorchester, the City of Birmingham Symphony, Vancouver Symphony, and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, among others. As a chamber musician, Francisco is a Bowers Program Artist at the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. His many performances have included the Marlboro Festival and the Perlman Music Program, as well as collaborations with Mitsuko Uchida and members of the Guarneri, Juilliard, Pacifica, Takács, and Cleveland quartets. Using gut strings and a baroque bow, Francisco performs on the 1735 “Mary Portman” ex-Kreisler Guarneri del Gesù violin, on loan from Clement and Karen Arrison through the Stradivari Society of Chicago.

A leading interpreter of great classic and contemporary works, her performances combine her gift for emotional communication and her fascination with research. She plays with passion and conviction, thrilling audiences with her dazzling technique, lustrous tone, and infectious joy in music-making. Pine’s 2021-22 season includes offering the world premiere “Violin Concerto No. 2,” written for her by Billy Childs through a co-commission by the Grant Park Music Festival, the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra, the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra, and the Interlochen Orchestra.

She performs on the “ex-Bazzini ex-Soldat” Joseph Guarnerius del Gesu (Cremona 1742).

Jeannette Sorrell “A resplendent performance… breathtaking. The production belonged entirely to Ms. Sorrell.” –THE NEW YORK TIMES GRAMMY®-winning conductor Jeannette Sorrell is recognized internationally as one of today’s most compelling interpreters of Baroque and Classical repertoire. She is credited by BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE for “forging a vibrant, life-affirming approach to early music.” The daughter of a European immigrant father and American mother, she grew up as a musician and dancer. She studied conducting under Leonard Bernstein, Robert Spano, and Roger Norrington at the Tanglewood and Aspen music festivals. As a harpsichordist, she studied with Gustav Leonhardt in Amsterdam and won First Prize and the Audience Choice Award in the Spivey International Harpsichord Competition, competing against over 70 harpsichordists from Europe, Israel, the U.S., and the Soviet Union.

32 s Apollo's FIre

Sorrell is the founder and artistic director of APOLLO’S FIRE, and has led the renowned period ensemble as conductor and harpsichord soloist in sold-out concerts from Carnegie Hall and London’s BBC Proms to the Tanglewood and Ravinia festivals. At home in Cleveland, she and Apollo’s Fire have built one of the largest audiences of any baroque orchestra in North America. In demand with symphony orchestras and period groups alike, Sorrell made her conducting debut in December 2021 with the New York Philharmonic (Handel’s Messiah), with the NEW YORK TIMES writing, “Jeannette Sorrell led a splendid performance... lithe, glowing and elegant.” Last month she made her debut with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, conducting Bach’s St. John Passion. She has repeatedly conducted the Pittsburgh Symphony, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Utah Symphony, New World Symphony, and the Florida Orchestra; and also led the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Seattle Symphony, Opera St Louis with the St Louis Symphony, Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra in San Francisco, the Calgary Philharmonic (Canada), the Royal Northern Sinfonia (UK), the San Diego Symphony, and Alabama Symphony, among others. With over 9 million views of their YouTube videos, Sorrell and Apollo’s Fire have released 29 commercial CDs, of which 10 have been bestsellers on the classical Billboard chart. Sorrell won a GRAMMY® in 2019 for her album “Songs of Orpheus” with Apollo’s Fire and tenor Karim Sulayman. Her recordings include

Artistic Director the complete Brandenburg Concerti and harpsichord concerti of Bach (Billboard Classical Top 10 in 2012) and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons (Billboard Classical #2 in 2021). She has also released four discs of Mozart. Other recordings include Bach’s St. John Passion, Handel’s Messiah, the Monteverdi Vespers (Billboard Classical Top 10) and five creative crossover projects, including Sephardic Journey – Wanderings of the Spanish Jews (Billboard World Music #2, Classical #7) and Christmas on Sugarloaf Mountain (Billboard Classical #3, and named “Festive Disc of the Year” by GRAMOPHONE). Sorrell is the subject of the 2019 documentary by Academy award-winning director Allan Miller, titled PLAYING WITH FIRE. She has also been featured on Living the Classical Life. She has attracted national awards for her creative programming and her “storytelling” approach to early music, which has attracted many new listeners through the use of contextual and dramatic elements. She holds an honorary doctorate from Case Western University, two special awards from the National Endowment for the Arts for her work on early American music, and an award from the American Musicological Society. Passionate about guiding the next generation of performers, Sorrell is the architect of Apollo’s Fire’s Young Artist Apprentice program, which has produced many of the nation’s leading young professional baroque players; and the new Artistic Leadership Fellows program.

“Under the inspired leadership of Jeannette Sorrell, Apollo’s Fire has become one of the pre-eminent period-instrument ensembles, causing one to hear baroque material anew.” –THE INDEPENDENT, London

HELLO CHICAGO! We are delighted that you are with us for our third program in the new Windy City Series. The idea for this series was planted 5 years ago by the many patrons who mobbed our musicians following our Chicago debut concert on the UChicago Presents series. "You must come back more often!" they told us. So we consulted with colleagues in Chicago. We brainstormed about how to be a force for good. We launched our Windy City Series last fall, embracing a mission of helping to bring new audiences to the early music scene in Chicago – through creative programming, educational partnerships, and cooperative marketing. As part of that mission, be warned! – we share our Chicago patron list with other fine Chicago baroque and chamber music organizations.

We are so grateful for the support and assistance of Chicago's excellent early music groups and chamber series, all of whom have helped promote this season's concerts. Please see the following pages for information about their upcoming concerts: Music of the Baroque University of Chicago Presents Haymarket Opera Chicago Symphony Orchestra Ravinia Festival Thank you also to these

Please sign up for our mailing list (postal or email) so that we can let you know of our return visits. We're delighted to announce our 2022-23 Chicago Series soon! Jeannette Sorrell, Artistic Director Judy Bundra, Chair of the Chicago Friends of Apollo's Fire jbundra@apollosfire.org

HIGHLIGHTS FROM JANUARY: THE WINDY CITY SERIES CONTINUES... APOLLO'S FIRE IN CHICAGO

"An electric performance" – CHICAGO ON THE AISLE "A lively, party atmosphere” – CHICAGO CLASSICAL REVIEW In January, Apollo's Fire brought down the house with Virtuoso Bach and Vivaldi, as the midpoint of a tour that also included Colorado and North Carolina. A lively audience filled the Music Institute of Chicago with warmth and energy on a chilly January evening. Soloist Francisco Fullana led a masterclass with MIC students earlier the same day. The evening ended with a huge standing ovation and much excited discussion about the next performances!

FROM THE PRESS... Apollo’s Fire lights a winter blaze with lively Bach and Vivaldi CHICAGO CLASSICAL REVIEW | January 30, 2022

Going for Baroque with Apollo's Fire CHICAGO ON THE AISLE | February 5, 2022 “Sorrell’s lively tempos kept the band on its toes – and I might as well say rockin’ to the rhythms of those old boys from Venice and Leipzig. Spanish violinist Francisco Fullana dispatched this grand-scaled essay with heady virtuosity – tossing in a formidable, blazing first-movement cadenza worthy of Paganini. It was an electric performance. Throughout the concert, Sorrell pushed the Baroque boundaries in a determined effort to recapture the music in all the freshness of its native sound. Here was highly idiosyncratic music-making, with persistent lifts at phrase endings, ever-buoyant rhythms and generally quick tempos. No solemn enshrinement here, no deference before the some pale plaster bust. This was Bach perceived as youthful and headstrong.”

Apollo's FIre Windy City Series s 39

“The nuance and vitality that Apollo’s Fire brought to Bach’s familiar opus made one realize just how many seemingly adequate past performances were, in hindsight, casual and pro forma. Sorrell and colleagues’ reading was bustling and highly inflected, though never mannered, and highlighted contrapuntal details that breathed necessary freshness into the oft-traversed score. The evening ended in a lively, party atmosphere.”

Bringing the best in chamber music to Chicago Presenting music on an intimate scale at the highest level, including classical music, early music, world music, jazz, and more.

The periodinstrument orchestra was founded by award-winning harpsichordist and conductor Jeannette Sorrell, and is 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. Hailed as “one of the pre-eminent period-instrument ensembles” (THE INDEPENDENT, London), Apollo’s Fire has performed five European tours, with sold-out concerts at the BBC Proms in London (with live broadcast across Europe), the Aldeburgh Festival (UK), Madrid’s Royal Theatre, Bordeaux’s Grand Théàtre de l’Opéra, and major venues in Lisbon, Metz (France), and Bregenz (Austria); as well as concerts at the Irish National Concert Hall (Dublin), the Irish National Opera House (Wexford), the Birmingham International Series (UK), the Tuscan Landscapes Festival (Italy), and Belfast Castle with a live broadcast carried by the Associated Press of Europe.

If you live in an east-side suburb of Cleveland, we would be grateful to add you to our list of “Innkeepers.” Many of our host families have formed long and close friendships with their AF “adopted family members.” This is a unique, enjoyable, and exciting way to get to know our Artists outside of the concert hall! Proof of vaccine required for all members of the household and Apollo's Fire musicians staying with hosts.

After the Malliks relocated from Seattle in 2018, their son and daughter-in-law quickly pointed them to nearby Judson Park. And for Pat and Singh, there’s been no looking back. Gardening, reading, staying fit, and freely sharing her beauty expertise with neighbors are everyday occurrences for Pat. “We’re so busy! Just because we are retired doesn’t mean we’re going to sit in a chair and sleep. The exercise options are great, people are so friendly, and help is here if you need it,” says Pat.
