Graduating Student Recital • TUNE THY MUSICK TO THY HARTE • Apollo Appolito

After spending some time pursuing his degree in Aerospace Engineering, Apollo Appolito found that the call of music was too much to ignore and opted to pursue a career in what he had been doing as a hobby since primary school. After transferring to Georgia Southern University, where he completed his Bachelors in voice, he discovered a love of historical music (at the gentle prodding of his mentor and voice teacher). As a result of reading several historical texts that stressed the importance of self accompaniment, he began to take up the lute. He came to Boston shortly after to study voice at the Longy School of Music, while also continuing to better himself as a lutenist. There he deepened his love of lutesong and found much gratification in the study of Baroque Opera. This summer he is participating as an emerging artist in Portland Bach Experience in Portland, Maine.
