Hailed as "multi-faceted artists with a dynamic musical vision for the future" whose "approach
is virtuosic, genuine and passionate" (CultureMap), The Apollo Chamber Players has gained distinction through exciting
and innovative performances in the greater Houston area, entertaining audiences at museums, churches, private homes, universities,
and concert halls. The Apollo Chamber Players' concert programming
focuses on the intersection of classical and folk music, while illuminating the ethnic diversity of classical composers and
the unique folk sounds and styles imbued in their music. The
cultural melting pot that is the city of Houston - and America at large - provides a perfect palate with which to showcase
the unique musical folk elements in the cultures of the globe.
Notable recent performances by The Apollo Chamber Players include a special concert in honor of 'Europe's Day' at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, hosted by the Spanish Consulate and the Mayor of Houston, Annise Parker; a collaboration concert at the University of St. Thomas honoring the Mexican Bicentennial, performing works by the multi-faceted and internationally renowned Mexican composer Javier Alvarez; a concert at the Centrum as special guests of the Cypress Creek FACE Concert Series; the headlining act for Central Market's 2011 'Passport Spain' España celebration; and exhilarating season concerts, 'Bach, Beethoven and Brahms Bring the Funk and Folk' and 'Gypsies and Toreadors: Folk Dances from Spain', this past spring at beautiful Zilkha Hall and Duncan Recital Hall, respectively. As frequent guests of KUHF's (88.7 FM) performing arts program 'The Front Row,' Apollo previews upcoming concerts and showcases new and innovative arrangements of folk melodies from around the world.
