Apollo's Fire: Handel's Israel in Egypt

  • First Baptist Church of Greater Cleveland 3630 Fairmount Boulevard Shaker Heights, OH, 44118 United States (map)

Premiered in 2017, Jeannette Sorrell’s new adaption of Handel’s neglected oratorio has won rave reviews. In addition to being a colorful showpiece for the virtuoso players and chorus of Apollo’s Fire, the work is a gripping emotional journey—from plagues and pyramids to the crossing of the Red Sea. The Israelites’ daring escape from Egypt comes to life with reverence and triumph through Handel’s sumptuous music.
