05.10.24, 20:00, APOLLO5, Rolls-Royce van de vocale muziek

Praised for their impressive vocals and unique sound, acclaimed British vocal ensemble APOLLO5 demonstrates how imposing five voices alone can be. The individual talent may almost literally radiate from the musicians — protective clothing is highly recommended — but together they are something else entirely. Flawless harmonies, from intimate song to downright impressive fortes that seem impossible for such a small group, renaissance chic to romantic splendour, you have to see it to believe it…. 

No less impressive than the voices themselves is the repertoire flowing from their throats. No narrow pigeonholes or just lost baroque masters for these five; no, pretty much the whole of Western music history is to be had. Gregorian chant that flows smoothly into Frank Sinatra’s ‘Fly Me to the Moon’, you ask, they deliver (and make it seem like the most normal thing in the world too).
