Embark on a musical exploration of American independence at Apollo Chamber Players’ Liberty, with a special appearance by George Takei, at the Hobby Center on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
Apollo is kicking off its 2024-25 season, which will explore our nation’s noble quest to “secure the blessings of liberty” for its citizenry—along with its successes and failures.
A program highlight will feature legendary actor and activist George Takei sharing the story of his Japanese American family’s forced internment during World War II, when Japanese Americans had their most basic freedoms stripped away in one of democracy’s darkest chapters.
The show will also feature a world premiere by celebrated American composer and five-time Grammy winner John Corigliano. His “One Sweet Morning” reflects a post-9/11 aspiration for peace and freedom from war and terror.
Finally, Afghan-born composer Homayoun Sakhi brings a global perspective on the promises and perils of self-government and the eternal quest for liberty.
Apollo Chamber Players 2024-25 Season: We The People
Liberty is the first of four concerts in Apollo’s 2024-25 season, which are all unified under the name We The People.
Each of the four distinct We The People performances will feature Apollo’s ensemble—joined by guest composers, musicians and performers—as the quartet debuts world premieres of original commissioned works, classic musical pieces, and art.
Following Liberty, three additional concerts in 2025 will be Opportunity, Diversity, and Freedom.
Season subscriptions include tickets to all four concerts for $200; $150 for ages 21 to 45; $175 for ages 65+. Subscribe now or learn more.
