The Apollo Chamber Players are certainly going to see more much deserved admiration for 'With Malice Toward None' / TAKE EFFECT

On Friday, August 20, 2021, Apollo Chamber Players ( Matthew J. Detrick, Anabel Ramirez Detrick, Whitney Bullock and Matthew Dudzik) released their fifth studio album, With Malice Toward None, on Azica Records. The album is a breathtaking collection of globally-inspired compositions and collaborations, with each composer sharing their own personal interpretations of folk music. Works include a title track by Vietnam War-veteran J. Kimo Williams with a performance by electric violinist Tracy Silverman, Pamela Z's The Unraveling, What is the Word' by Christopher Theofanidis and Mark Wingate, new arrangements of a trio of Armenian folk songs by pioneering Armenian composer Komitas, and Eve Beglarian's We Will Sing One Song for duduk, string quartet, percussion, and track. The Pamela Z, Theofanidis and Wingate, and Beglarian pieces are part of Apollo's 20x2020 project, launched in 2014 with a mission to commission 20 new multicultural works before the end of the decade.

TAKE EFFECT writes......These Houston, Texas artists have already seen global praise for their previous albums, and with each composer bringing their own personal interpretations of folk music to this effort, the Apollo Chamber Players are certainly going to see more much deserved admiration for With Malice Toward None.
