Performing on historical instruments, GRAMMY®-winning ensemble Apollo’s Fire brings to life the music of the past for audiences of today. Over the course of 30 years the Cleveland-based orchestra, led by its Founding Artistic Director Jeannette Sorrell, has performed sold-out concerts at venues and festivals including Carnegie Hall, the BBC Proms, Madrid's Teatro Real, Tanglewood Festival, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Apollo’s Fire is dedicated to reviving the true spirit of baroque performances, not only with period instruments, but with the emotional impact the music was meant to convey.

On 24-26 April 2026 Apollo's Fire returns to the UK to perform three concerts at St-Martin-in-the-Fields and one at Snape Maltings Concert Hall. They will perform a variety of programmes including Pubs and Palaces of 1610, a richly flavoured banquet of pieces that range from the British Isles to the Mediterranean basin and feature voice, lute, oud, harps, violin and viola da gamba, Fencing Match – Duelling Double Concertos, which brings Apollo’s Fire together with members of the English Baroque Soloists, Baklava Bash – A Middle-Eastern Celebration, a beguiling evocation of Middle Eastern café culture from c.1700. They will crown their St-Martin-in-the-Fields residency with O Jerusalem! Crossroads of Three Faiths, the programme for which presents a vision of an ancient city in which the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam coexisted for many centuries, often in harmony, and cultivated a rich repertoire of sacred and secular songs.
