Episode #16:
Vivaldi Fireworks




Dear Friends Around the World,
 
With best wishes to all of our YouTube fans in Italy, Apollo’s Fire is delighted to go all-Italian this week!
 
Jeannette Sorrell likes to think of Antonio Vivaldi as the “rock and roll composer of the 18th century.” Vivaldi was the music master at a famous orphanage in Venice. Since he wrote his concertos for his teenage protégés, it’s not surprising that they feature the driving rhythms and earthy harmonies that inspire pop music today.
 
This all-Vivaldi episode of “Music for the Soul” features three NEW videos of Vivaldi performances, plus three old favorites. You will find plenty of virtuoso fireworks here. We hope you enjoy them!
 
Amici, vi spediamo la salute e l’ispirazione.
Wishing you health and inspiration.

CAN YOU HELP?

Apollo’s Fire is providing this video series as a free gift to you. However, during the COVID shutdown we are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in ticket revenue and touring fees. What’s worse, our musicians have lost all of their work with ensembles around the country. But thanks to your donations, Apollo’s Fire, unlike many other orchestras, has so far been able to pay our musicians $100,000 in partial fees for canceled concerts. We couldn’t have done this without your support!

Please consider donating either to Apollo’s Fire or to our Musicians’ Fund.

You can also help us hit 5 million total views on YouTube by sharing these videos with your friends. We are so close!

To donate, email Angela Mortellaro or call 216.320.0012 x 6.*
