Apollo's Fire continues their busy 2017/2018 season with a 5-city tour of their celebrated A Night at Bach's Coffeehouse program, including the ensemble's debut at Carnegie Hall on Thursday, March 22. Conceived and conducted by the ensemble's founding artistic director, conductor/harpsichordist Jeannette Sorrell, A Night at Bach's Coffeehouse is inspired by the coffeehouse concerts led by J.S. Bach in Leipzig during the 18th century and features music by Bach and his contemporaries, including Telemann, Handel, and Vivaldi. The tour begins at Catamount Arts in St. Johnsbury, VT on March 20 and concludes at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, VA on March 27.
Jeannette Sorrell, recognized as one of today's most creative early music conductors, will make her subscription debut conducting the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) with four performances of Handel's Messiah, December 14 through December 17. Joined by four gifted soloists and the University of Maryland Concert Choir under the direction of Edward Maclary, Sorrell will lead the NSO in her fresh perspective that highlights the theatrical, spiritual, and musical storytelling of Handel's classic oratorio.
