APOLLO5, hailed by BBC Music Magazine as "faultless," will perform in All Saints' Chapel on Thursday, October 23, at 7 p.m. Five voices -- soprano, mezzo, two tenors, and bass -- with unparalleled individual talent come together with a dynamic and distinctive sound that captivates audiences with a program of jazz, pop, classical, and early sacred music. APOLLO5 is consistently praised by Gramophone, BBC Radio 3, and Classic FM, and their performances fill halls throughout Europe, USA, and Asia. As one of three principal ensembles of the VOCES8 Foundation, the APOLLO5 concert will be a choral tour de force, marking the ensembles’ 15th anniversary.
APOLLO5’s busy touring schedule has taken the group to Europe, the USA and Asia. In addition to performing at prestigious UK venues such as the Wigmore Hall, Cadogan Hall, St John’s Smith Square, the Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican Centre, the group has toured extensively across France, Germany, and other European countries, including recent appearances with an orchestra and a brass band in Lisbon (PT) and Prague (CZ) respectively. The group is a regular guest on BBC Radio 3’s In Tune, and often receives airplay from the national broadcaster, as well as other UK stations Classic FM, Magic Classical and NTS Radio. 2024/25 tour highlights include a three-week trip to the USA under new agency representation, appearances at European festivals such as Common Ground (NL), La Folle Journée (FR), and Koorfestival Vlaanderen (BE), and a performance at the Barbican Hall as part of sister group VOCES8’s 20th Anniversary celebrations in June. The group is signed to VOCES8 Records and has released seven solo studio albums under the label.
The concert is presented by the University Choir, the Sewanee Performing Arts Series, and the Sewanee School of Theology.
Please note that staff, faculty, and students of Sewanee receive one free ticket with Sewanee ID. Sewanee ID tickets should be picked up at the All Saints' Chapel office, not purchased through Eventbrite. Thank you.
