Featuring Musicians from the Apollo Music Festival, Garret Ross, director.
The Apollo Music Festival hosts four classical music concerts, a young artists recital and masterclasses at the end of summer each year in Houston, Minnesota. The festival is organized by pianist Garret Ross, a Houston native who has performed from coast to coast, and teaches in the Twin Cities. Starting in 2012, Ross invited musician friends and colleagues from around the country to join him in Houston for chamber music concerts. He has expanded the festival each year, but admission continues to be free.
