How do we find calm?
Bold Serenity opens with a cross-cultural musical dialogue between composer and author Anthony Brandt and Indian Carnatic musician Chitravina Ravikiran, the "Mozart of Indian Classical Music."
Centered around two interwoven commissions — Resting States (Brandt) and Illusion to Resolution (Ravikiran) — the program explores the challenges of contemporary life and the modern mind's search for calm amid overstimulation and distraction.
Together, these works trace a journey from darkness to light, confusion to clarity, and anxiety to tranquility, creating a compelling conversation between neuroscience and spirituality and Western contemporary music and Eastern Carnatic tradition.

FLOW
In a world of endless scrolling, how do we focus deeply?
Flow explores the elusive state where creativity, attention, and meaning converge. Presented in an intimate setting and timed with James Turrell's Twilight Epiphany, the program combines music, conversation, and communal reflection in a unique journey toward presence and deep listening.
Curated with past Apollo commissions, traditional masterworks, and a new commission by Chinese-American composer Tian Qin, Flow features a conversation with Leila Scott Price, bringing artists and audience members together to cultivate flow in both creative practice and everyday life.

REFLECTION
What do we cultivate and pass forward?
Bold Serenity concludes with a meditation on legacy, memory, and the sharing of wisdom across generations.
The heart of Reflection is a new commission by legendary Cuban composer Leo Brouwer, featuring a stunning collaboration with multiple GRAMMY®-winning performers João Luiz Rezende Lopes and Anabel Gil Díaz. Along with Houston Ballet dancers Monica Gomez and Gian Carlo Perez, the work features new choreography performed alongside dancers from Houston Ballet Academy, bringing emerging and established artists together in a shared act of intergenerational creation.
The program also highlights Tolo (Sunrise) by Afghan-American composer Homayoun Sakhi and Beethoven's final string quartet, Op. 135—a late-life masterpiece that wrestles with acceptance and what we leave behind.
As Apollo approaches its 20th anniversary, Reflection serves as a thematic bridge linking our past and present while boldly venturing into the future.
