Embark on a journey through folk song and storytelling with The Apex Singers, the critically acclaimed vocal ensemble. Renowned for their intricate harmonies and gorgeous melodies, this live concert promises an unforgettable musical experience. “Stunning — I love everything they do!” — Simon Mayo, Scala Radio The Apex Singers are an eight-part vocal ensemble celebrated for their bespoke a cappella arrangements of traditional folk songs from around the world. Their distinctive sound blends classical choral technique with traditional folk and contemporary a cappella, creating a richly textured and captivating musical experience. The Apex Singers regularly tour the UK and Ireland and have headlined festivals including the International Irish A Cappella Festival, City of Derry International Choir Festival, and Banstead Arts Festival. Their recordings have received widespread recognition, earning four Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards, four A Cappella Video Awards, and the Best Music Video award at the British Independent Film Festival for The Mermaid Wife. "Teeming with dynamic contrast and lovely charm" - Kyle Yampiro, The Recorded A Cappella Review Board "It would not be easy to find another ensemble as happy to perform together. Their joyful singing and warmth washed over the audience, embracing us, and they wore their virtuosity very lightly." - Nick Holmes, Live Review
