Work samples for Knight Arts Challenge 2019


“Apollo’s Fire is reinventing classical music in the U.S. heartland by reaching out to find audiences, instead of sitting back and waiting for listeners to find them. Treating folk and art music of the past as a continuum, the program embraced cultural diversity… outstanding.”

– Seen & Heard International, 2017 (Review of MusicAlive! at the Akron Art Museum)
