Performers
Apollo’s Fire
Jeannette Sorrell, Artistic Director, Conductor, and Harpsichord

The buoyant rhythms, delectable melodies, and instrumental flash of these Baroque favorites will quicken pulses and lift spirits. Jeannette Sorrell’s joyous arrangement of Uccellini’s take on an old Italian dance tune features the virtuoso soloists of Apollo’s Fire in full flight. Praised for their “consummate skill and artistry” (The New York Times), the musicians then shine new light on popular concertos by J. S. Bach and Vivaldi.
