In Wednesday’s (7/17) Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio), Donald Rosenberg writes that the Cleveland-based early-music ensemble Apollo’s Fire has announced plans for its 2013-14 season. Apollo’s Fire “will present seven subscription programs in Northeast Ohio and numerous concerts throughout the continent and abroad … under music director Jeannette Sorrell. The ensemble’s 2013-14 season will include a North American tour in October and November, its third international tour next spring, a new Saturday matinee in Chagrin Falls and debuts at two venues: Rockefeller’s Restaurant in Cleveland Heights and The Temple—Tifereth Israel in Beachwood…. The season will begin in September with ‘Virtuoso Orchestra,’ a program of concertos by J.S. Bach, J.D. Heinichen, Geminiani, Telemann and Vivaldi…. The season’s final program in April, ‘The Power of Love,’ will feature soprano Amanda Forsythe in arias by Handel and Vivaldi and concertmaster Olivier Brault and cellist Schiffer in Vivaldi concertos. Apollo’s Fire’s third international tour in May 2014 will include stops in London and Birmingham, England; Bregenz, Austria; and other locations. French soprano Sandrine Piau will join the ensemble in a program of works by Handel and Vivaldi. Starting with the 2014-15 season, Apollo’s Fire will begin to tour North and South America under the exclusive management of Columbia Artist Management (CAMI).”
