The Apollo Chamber Players is committed to providing educational
concerts, masterclasses and programs to schools and institutions in the Houston area and beyond. As such, Apollo is pleased to announce its membership and participation in Young
Audiences of Houston, a non-profit arts-in-education provider reaching 330,000 students in the Greater Houston area. Apollo's program, entitled 'Musical Melting-Pot World Tour,' takes students
on an engaging musical journey, performing music from Spain, Mexico, and Appalachia (US) while illuminating the folk traditions,
important historical figures, and cultural contexts of each of these countries. Along the journey, students gain insight
into the melodious instruments of a string quartet and the similarities between muiscal language and basic human interactions.
Apollo-arranged folk songs serve to complement discussion, interaction, and participation with the audience. (Grades
K-8) Watch the video below for highlights of the program!
(From 10/4/11 program at Lewis Elementary School.)
