Exploring a blend of Western classical and ethnic folk music will be the program of the Apollo Chamber Players when they perform here Sunday, March 15, in the sixth installment of the Fredericksburg Music Club’s 2014-15 Concert Series.
The 3 p.m. appearance by Houston string musicians Matthew Detrick (violin), Anabel Ramirez (violin), Whitney Bullock (viola) and Matthew Dudzik (cello) in the sanctuary of Fredericksburg United Methodist Church is free, although goodwill offerings are welcome.
In addition to helping fulfill the ensemble’s commitment to providing innovative, thematically-programmed concerts and culturally-enriching educational activities, Apollo’s performance is also part of a multi-year commissioning project — 20X20X20— launched in September with a new work by Grammy Award-winning composer Libby Larsen.
The group recently made its debut on American Public Media’s “Performance Today,” while during its 2013 East Coast Tour and Carnegie Hall debut, performed for over 1,000 concert-goers, including dignitaries from the Consulates General of Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.
