William Wang and William Satterfield first met in the dorms of the Peabody Conservatory in 2016. Both of them immediately recognized the importance of chamber music in their lives. As a result, Apollo String Quartet was formed as the first step in fulfilling their musical dreams and passions. Along with inaugural members Xingqiao Ren and Angela Che, they have since performed numerous concerts and recitals in concert halls, community centers, and residential homes in the Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC areas.
As a wedding and event performance group, Apollo has been described as talented musicians, professionally managed, flexible to work with, and able to bring the energy. They always uphold the highest standard and quality for any setting and musical needs of their clients.
In 2020, Apollo String Quartet expanded to include more musicians and instruments, renaming to Apollo Chamber Music to reflect the transition. Since then, Apollo has continued to proudly perform for gracious audience and happy couples in the areas surrounding Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, Baltimore, Delaware, and Southern Pennsylvania.
