<h2>Apollo5 - Haven</h2><h3>Thursday 19 October</h3>D﻿oors 7pm. Event 7:30pm-8:15pm without interval.A collection of pieces old and new, with repertoire spanning four centuries and with six tracks commissioned especially for the album, Haven is centred around William Byrd’s Mass For Five Voices.

Paul Smith for Apollo5 __________________________________<blockquote>“One-to-a-part performances of repertoire spanning nine centuries no less. An inspired programme, superbly sung throughout.” BBC Music Magazine </blockquote>Praised for their powerful singing and distinctive sound, the award-winning British vocal ensemble Apollo5 proves how dynamic only five voices can be. With such small forces they are able to showcase each individual voice while still achieving their critically acclaimed blend.Comprising a soprano, mezzo-soprano, two tenors and a bass, the ensemble – which takes its name from the ancient Greek god of music – has become known for its rich, dynamic sound, demonstrating how powerful five voices alone can be. With a versatile approach to music programming, and a repertoire spanning renaissance, classical and contemporary choral works to folk, jazz and pop, the group’s five voices bring the music of five centuries to life.During its 13-year career, Apollo5 has delivered an ambitious education programme and accumulated a busy touring schedule that has taken the group to many European countries, the USA and Asia. In addition to performing at prestigious UK venues such as the Barbican Centre, the Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Arena, St John’s Smith Square and St Martin-in-the-Fields, the group has toured extensively across Belgium, Germany and France. 2023/24 concert highlights include appearances at European festivals such as La Folle Journée and Festival Automne Musiq3, debuts at London’s Wigmore Hall and Philharmonie Luxembourg, and tours to the USA.The group is signed to Voces8 Records and has released a number of critically acclaimed albums under this label. <blockquote>“Exceptionally beautiful singing” Classic FM </blockquote>Tickets are banded according to location in the church.
