"When we started Apollo’s Fire, I was living on Ramen noodles." - Grammy-winner Jeannette Sorrell

Living the Classical Life: Episode 64 Grammy®-winner Jeannette Sorrel recounts how she built one of the largest audiences for baroque music in the U.S. despite having no money, no role model and being told that neither audiences nor musicians would accept a woman as a conductor. She explains how she leads musicians and audiences alike towards an understanding of a centuries-old aesthetic, and even gets a large ensemble of period instruments to play in tune!
