Apollo’s Singers, the choral ensemble of Apollo’s Fire, was founded in 1992 by Jeannette Sorrell. Since their debut concert that year (performing Mozart’s 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 ten CD recordings with the orchestra, including Handel’s Messiah and Israel in Egypt (for which they received a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Choral Performance in 2024), Bach’s St. John Passion, Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo and Vespers, and the crossover albums O Jerusalem! and Sacrum Mysterium. The chorus has frequently toured with the orchestra, performing in Chicago, New York, the UK, Germany, and at the Ojai Festival in California.

In 2021, Apollo’s Singers made their New York Philharmonic debut singing Handel’s Messiah under Jeannette Sorrell’s baton. They returned to the Philharmonic in 2023, this time performing Handel’s Israel in Egypt.
