The Musical Melting Pot
With Apollo Chamber Players
Produced by
Young Audiences of Houston

This is a non-ticketed performance. No tickets are necessary, no reservations can be made. As a courtesy to Miller, we’d appreciate it if you’d fill out the daytime group attendance form here.

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.
