Fiddle Fiesta – Apollo’s Fire Free Family Concert

Apollo’s Fire musicians take you on a musical tour of the sunny lands of the Mediterranean – Spain, Italy, Greece, and Egypt. Dueling fiddles join with the medieval harp, cello, guitar, and percussion, as we discover the lively music and culture of this beautiful region. We’ll learn an ancient Italian dance called the Galliard, and everyone joins in on body-percussion!

WARNING: Audience members might learn to sing a fugue theme, dance the Menuet, or play a ground bass at the harpsichord! AF Family Concerts spark learners of all ages with an abundance of impromptu quizzes and prizes, along with opportunities to talk with the musicians and try playing the instruments. Since 2002, Apollo’s Fire has performed many popular Family Concerts in family-friendly venues, including local museums and libraries. AF’s famous “Instrument Petting Zoo” ends each program when the audience swarms the stage to try the instruments. Delightfully noisy!
