Apollo’s Singers, like Apollo’s Fire Baroque Orchestra, was founded in 1992 by Jeannette Sorrell. Since their debut concert that year (performing the Mozart Requiem), this professional straight-tone chorus has been hailed as “one of the finest choirs of its kind in the country.” (The Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Apollo’s Singers appear on over five CD recordings with the orchestra, including the Mozart Requiem, Bach’s St John Passion, the Monteverdi Vespers, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo, and the forthcoming Praetorius Christmas Vespers. The chorus has frequently toured with the orchestra, performing In Toronto, Pittsburgh, Toledo, Columbus, and at the Ojai Festival in California.

FROM THE PLAIN DEALER

"Choral clarity of this sort is almost unheard of today."

"Sorrell and her sensational chorus, Apollo’s Singers, make contact with music on both visceral and intellectual levels, and the results are intoxicating."

"Apollo’s Singers were breathtaking. Every phrase the chorus sang was molded down to the tiniest nuance. Pitch, balance, enunciation, you-name-it were well-nigh perfect."
