Jeannette Sorrell
Semantix has advised Grammy award-winning conductor Jeannette Sorrell in her capacity as Artistic Director of Apollo’s Fire and beyond.
In an age of much-deserved championing of female conductors, Jeannette Sorrell is a standout. She is a singular artist-entrepreneur having founded the renowned orchestra Apollo’s Fire early in her career.
Jeannette Sorrell and her…Apollo’s Fire, ended their fine program of Baroque gems at Zankel Hall…with Ms. Sorrell’s own expansion of [Vivaldi’s “la follia”] for full string orchestra.
It preserves intricate interplay between the two soloists in a number of places but generally shares the wealth of virtuosity and abandon with the group’s other gifted violinists to thrilling effect.”

Apollo's Fire founder/Artistic Director Jeannette Sorrell discusses the artistic vision that has shaped this internationally acclaimed ensemble.
"For 25 years, I've met people who think they don't like baroque music - because they haven't come to our concerts yet. But once they come, then they're hooked... Baroque music is alive. It's emotional, and very personal and intimate. We touch people from all walks of life." Celebrating the first 25 years: 1992-2017
