Apollo’s Fire, The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra (AF), is proud to present its 25th Anniversary season in 2016-2017! The subscription series will include six productions including the 25th Anniversary Festival in April. Diverse venues on the east side of Cleveland, west side of Cleveland, and Akron ensure maximum audience exposure.
Last season included nine sold out performances in Cleveland. AF’s debut concert at the Tanglewood Music Festival wowed the audience and music critics alike, and its appearance at the BBC Proms Festival in London sold out in only two weeks. Both of Apollo’s Fire’s recent CD releases, The Power of Love and Sephardic Journey: Wanderings of the Spanish Jews, were BILLBOARD Top Ten Bestsellers.
2016-17 performances will be held in the following cities: Akron, Bath, Bay Village, Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, Fairlawn, Rocky River, Shaker Heights, and Willoughby Hills. Season highlights include a dramatic interpretation of Handel’s Messiah, the beautiful choral program Resplendent Purcell, Sacred Bach with guest conductor Julian Wachner, and the 25th Anniversary Festival entitled Beethoven & Schubert Rediscovered – featuring the young American concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic, Noah Bendix-Balgley.
Placing an ad in the Apollo’s Fire program book allows you to connect with a large and varied audience, and at the same time provides support to a highly-respected and critically-acclaimed non-profit arts organization. Last season AF sold over 11,000 tickets to its local subscription series concerts.
