APOLLO’S FIRE DEVELOPS NEW PERFORMANCE MODEL AND ANNOUNCES NEW SEASON
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, AF launches a bold, new model: Attend the Concert in Person or At Home. Subscribers and ticket buyers can choose to attend the concert in person, OR receive a password to watch the exclusive concert video 1 week later at home.
At concerts, Apollo’s Fire will implement Ohio’s health guidelines at the time of each concert. This may include social distancing, facial masks, capacity limits, and quick temperature checks at the door using digital forehead scanners.
The Grammy-winning baroque orchestra announced its 29th season under founding artistic director Jeannette Sorrell. The season comprises 27 subscription concerts (six programs performed in multiple venues across Northeast Ohio); two “Baroque Bistro” programs presented at popular restaurants; and two sets of Family Concerts.
New this year, AF is offering interactive ZOOM events with featured performers and visiting scholar Dr. Thomas Forrest Kelly. Go here to find all the events in AP’s 2020-2021 season.
