Past event

Let it Snow! conjures up the wonder of winter’s changing landscape through the very best contemporary choral writing for the season. The programme illuminates the magical quality of dark winter nights whilst speaking of a time of rejoicing and celebrating with the sharing of gifts and through the miracle of birth, hailed with wonder and elation.

The programme presents a wide range of repertoire from festive favourites to new arrangements and works written especially for Apollo5.

In Let it Snow! trakteert APOLLO5 je op een heerlijk kerstprogramma. Klassiekers van het door en door Britse Christmas Carol repertoire passeren de revue. En dat het niveau van de uitvoering aan niets te wensen over zal laten, getuige deze vijfsterren-recensie van BBC Music Magazine:

“Alles van APOLLO5 is onberispelijk, van het perfect uitgebalanceerde tempo en de fantasierijke repertoirekeuze tot de uitzonderlijke samenhang en moeiteloze stijl”.

Het veelgeprezen Britse vocale ensemble APOLLO5 staat bekend om haar indrukwekkende zangtechniek en unieke geluid. Het gezelschap laat zien hoe indrukwekkend de combinatie van louter vijf stemmen kan zijn. Door ongeëvenaard individueel talent te presenteren en dat tegelijkertijd op te laten gaan in een perfecte eenheid, boeit APOLLO5 het publiek met verschillende genres, waaronder jazz, pop, klassiek en oude, gewijde muziek. APOLLO5 brengt het een diepe verbinding tot stand via haar optredens en educatieve workshops.
