Apollo’s FireConductor
Jeannette SorrellAbout
'Come to the River' was conceived by Apollo’s Fire founder Jeannette Sorrell, who first began to identify with this music when, as a teenager, her family moved to the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, and she landed her first job playing piano for the Greenway Southern Baptist Church. She draws on the expertise of the great folklorists Francis James Child and Alan Lomax, and British immigrant Cecil Sharp. It features leading vocalists and instrumentalists practicing in the early American folk tradition. Fiddle, banjo, hammered dulcimer and Irish flute, with cello and harpsichord, back the vocalists’ beautiful, stark, open harmonies and shape-note hymns – tunes that are instantly recognizable and an indelible ingredient in American musical history.
“Think of cellist Yo-Yo Ma collaborating with bluegrass musicians, set the clock back two or three centuries, and you almost get the picture … joy onstage that generates joy in the audience.” – The Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Dazzling fiddle playing and delicious swing … all done with great spirit and brio” – Fanfare
