WESTLAKE, OH — Cleveland's baroque orchestra, Apollo's Fire, will make their Crocker Park debut with a one-hour concert on Sunday, May 5.

The Grammy-winning group will perform "Tangos & Fandangos" at Market Squre in Crocker Park at 5 p.m. Regular admission is $28 and preferred seating is $45.

Apollo's Fire made its first London appearance in 2010 and then hosted countless sold out shows during their European tours in 2011, 2014 and 2015. The Daily Telegraph called the group's 2014 concerts one of the five best classical music shows of the year.
