Apollo's Fire Baroque Orchestra
Apollo's Fire Baroque Orchestra performs on Sunday, February 8th, 2026 at 3pm as a part of the VCUarts Rennolds Series. Named for the ancient god of music and the sun, Apollo’s Fire is a GRAMMY®-winning ensemble. Founded by award-winning harpsichordist and conductor Jeannette Sorrell, the period band is dedicated to the baroque ideal that music should evoke the various Affekts or passions in the listeners. The Apollo’s Fire musicians are creative artists who share Sorrell’s passion for drama and rhetoric.
The performance will be conducted by violinist Alan Choo, whose performances have been described by The Straits Times Singapore as “an intoxicating brew of poetry and dare-devilry,” appears on the global stage as a leading soloist, chamber musician and historical specialist. He made his solo debut with Apollo’s Fire at the Tanglewood and Ravinia Music Festivals in 2017, and currently serves as Concertmaster and Assistant Artistic Director for the ensemble. Their program contains a wonderful collection of Baroque gems entitled "Bach's Coffeehouse."
