Apollo’s Fire recognizes and sends continued thanks to all former members of the Board of Directors, who have so generously contributed their time, talents and financial resources over the years. Just as the continuo is the foundation of baroque music, these visionary individuals, through their service on the board, have been the foundation of Apollo’s Fire.
