Episode #17:
Young People’s Edition
Watch the hilarious story of a rebellious teenager in our multi-generational performance of Bach’s Coffee Cantata. And catch the video of the night when our cellist’s bow suddenly “exploded” on stage.
Parents, check out our children’s book, A Spider Named Apollo, about a lonely spider who loves to hang out (so to speak) in our rehearsals. Or consider dusting off that piano or guitar in the corner, and giving your young person a music lesson with an Apollo’s Fire musician (by Zoom).
It’s all below. Enjoy, and keep learning!

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.*
*AF staff are working remotely. Please leave a voicemail and your call will be returned.
OR Donate ONLINE.
Thank you for supporting your baroque orchestra!
