Jeannette Sorrell, after being told by the Juilliard School and the Cleveland Orchestra that no one will hire a woman conductor, forms her own Baroque orchestra, Apollo’s Fire. She shows us how she can transform the notes on the page into musical sounds in her ear and express them with her gestures to the musicians.
