Musical Melting Pot with Apollo Chamber Players produced by Young Audiences of Houston

The rich diversity of cultures in Houston offers an instructive look into the musical and folk elements of world cultures while serving as a microcosm for the United States’ unique ethnic melting-pot.

Apollo takes participants on an engaging musical world tour, performing music from Mexico, Spain, and the U.S. Appalachia region while illuminating the folk traditions, important historical figures and events, and cultural contexts of each of these regions. Along the journey, participants gain insight into the instruments and workings of a string quartet and learn the similarities between musical language and basic human interactions.
