Apollo's Fire: Come to the River - an Early American Gathering June 28, 2011

Taking its name from the classical god of music and the sun, Apollo's Fire (The Cleveland Baroque Orchestra) is dedicated to the performance of 17th and 18th century music. 'Come to the River: An Early American Gathering' is a special crossover program that brings to life the rich American tradition of early American gatherings from the spiritual heights of an old American revival, to the driving rhythms of New England barn dances, shape-note singing and southern harmony. This musical evening includes a virtuoso fiddler, an old-time guitarist, a hot-shot hammered dulcimer and wood flutes.
