Apollo Chamber Players presents With Malice Toward None, a multidisciplinary program reflecting our shared humanity, of art being a force for good in our fractured yet ever-progressing republic.
Music selections feature recent Apollo commissions, including With Malice Toward None by Black Vietnam veteran composer J. Kimo Williams; Revise? by Emmy-winning composer Jasmine Barnes and Houston Poet Laureate Emeritus Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton; Quantopia/The Thought Police by Paul Miller aka DJ Spooky; and Firewall by Houston-based composer Mark Buller. Also included will be new arrangements of music by Ludwig Van Beethoven to complement the idea that musical expression can affect positive change.
Special guests include Tracy Silverman, the “greatest living exponent of the electric violin” (BBC Radio), Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton, spoken word poet, and members of Houston Ebony Opera Guild, Philip Hall Singers, and Houston Chamber Choir.
With Malice Toward None is dedicated to the late Civil Rights leader Congressman John Lewis and finds inspiration from Beethoven, a composer for whom politics seamlessly intersected with art. Apollo’s album of the same name, released in 2021, reached No. 1 on Amazon’s ‘Hot New Release’ chart and has been featured on Sirius XM, NPR, and radio/media stations across the globe.

Chamber Music America’s 2025 Ensemble of the Year, Houston-based Apollo Chamber Players is a “dynamic ensemble creating programs in response to current events” (NPR) that “recasts music for a diverse and multi-ethnic generation” (Strings Magazine). Recipient of Chamber Music America’s prestigious Residency Partnership award, the ensemble has performed for sold-out audiences at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, in Havana, Cuba, and it is featured frequently on American Public Media’s nationally-syndicated Performance Today.
Lauded by BBC Radio as “the greatest living exponent of the electric violin”, Tracy Silverman’s groundbreaking work with the 6-string electric violin defies musical boundaries. A leader in the progressive string community, his Strum Bowing Method has been adopted by players and teachers all over the world.
Deborah D.E.E.P Mouton is an internationally-known, multi-hyphenate literary artist, director, performer, critic and the first Black Poet Laureate of Houston, TX. She is the author of the 2019 poetry collection Newsworthy with Bloomsday Literary which was a finalist for The Writer’s League of Texas Book Award and Honorable Mention in the Summerlee Book Prize. Her poems have garnered her a Pushcart nomination and have been translated across multiple genres and languages.
