A Relaxed and Sensory Inclusive Performance
Presented by the Hobby Center with Apollo Chamber Players
Join Apollo for an interactive, multicultural program of music from around the world exploring classical and folk music from Spain, Italy, Germany, Hungary and the Americas showcasing the instruments of a string quartet.
Houston-based APOLLO CHAMBER PLAYERS is a “young, dynamic ensemble…creating programs in response to current events” (NPR) that “recasts music for a diverse and multi-ethnic generation” (Strings Magazine). Recipient of Chamber Music America’s prestigious Residency Partnership award, the ensemble has performed for sold-out audiences at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, and it is featured frequently on American Public Media’s nationally-syndicated program Performance Today.
Apollo’s community partners include schools and universities, at-risk youth centers, refugee, sensory, and veterans service organizations, and public libraries. The ensemble’s vanguard Library Voyage project, an initiative to perform in all Harris County/Houston Public Libraries, is the first of its kind in the nation. Apollo was founded in 2008 by violinist and music entrepreneur Matthew J. Detrick and violinist Timothy Peters.
Released on the Grammy-winning label Azica Records, Apollo’s With Malice Toward None album reached No. 1 on Amazon’s ‘Hot New Release’ chart. The ensemble’s catalog of records has been featured on hundreds of radio and media stations worldwide, including Sirius XM, The BBC, and WQXR-NYC. The organization’s debut feature film, MoonShot: The Remarkable Journey of Apollo Chamber Players, has won international accolades, including Best Documentary and Best Documentary Soundtrack at the Seattle, Vancouver, and Screen ATX (Austin, TX) film festivals.
