Apollo's Fire: Fencing Match

Hailed by Classical Music Magazine as “the USA’s hottest baroque band”, Apollo’s Fire, led by Jeannette Sorrell, joins forces with members of the renowned English Baroque Soloists in this new programme of duelling double concertos.

J.S. Bach’s Concerto in D minor brings emotional depth and technical brilliance to demonstrate the chemistry between two violinists. The musical fencing continues in Vivaldi’s stormy Concerto in A minor for two violins; Telemann’s Concerto for flute and recorder, and a set of colourful dances by Rameau. The programme climaxes in a transatlantic romp as multiple duels break out in Vivaldi’s La Folia (“Madness”).
