Info zu Anam: Music to Move the Soul

Anlässlich des fünfzehnjährigen Bestehens der britischen Vokalgruppe präsentieren APOLLO5 ihr siebtes Studioalbum: Anam, eine Sammlung von „Music to Move the Soul“, bestehend aus Weltpremieren und musikalischen Erzählungen. Da „anam“ auf Gälisch „Seele“ bedeutet, liegt dem Album ein starkes keltisches Thema zugrunde, das neue Bearbeitungen von Volksliedern, heidnischen Texten, Gedichten von Robert Burns, brandneue, von schottischen und irischen Musiktraditionen inspirierte Auftragswerke und sogar traditionelle Instrumente enthält. Weitere Schwerpunkte sind italienische Madrigale aus der Renaissance, neue Vertonungen romantischer englischer Poesie und Aufnahmen von Stücken der beliebten britischen Komponisten Charles Hubert Parry und James MacMillan. Mit neuen Stücken und Bearbeitungen von Lucy Walker, Teena Lyle, Rebecca Tavener und der APOLLO5-Sopranistin Penelope Appleyard sind auch Komponistinnen stark vertreten, und die Poesie von Christina Rosetti ist ebenfalls vertreten. Anam enthält mehr Instrumente als je zuvor auf einem APOLLO5-Album, mit Gastauftritten der Clàrsach-Spielerin Ruth Wall, der Uilleann-Pipe-Spielerin Rita Farrell und der Perkussionistin Teena Lyle. Die siebzehn Tracks des Albums erkunden, wie die reiche bardische Tradition des Geschichtenerzählens und die Verbindung zu Heimat, Erbe und Natur Musik und Poesie inspirieren können, die mit kraftvollen Bildern und emotionaler Tiefe zeitlos wirken. Anam verbindet Tradition mit Innovation in einer Reise durch Jahrhunderte und Kulturen.

Apollo5
The international award-winning British vocal ensemble Apollo5 delights audiences with versatile and engaging performances on the concert platform, singing repertoire ranging from renaissance, classical and contemporary choral music to folk, jazz and pop.

Frequently performing in their home city of London they have sung in venues including the Royal Albert Hall, Kings Place (London A Cappella Festival), the Barbican, the Houses of Parliament and Wembley Arena. They regularly give concerts at their home in the heart of the City of London, the Gresham Centre.

As well as concerts across the UK Apollo5 has enjoyed giving performances internationally. Last season the five outstanding vocalists undertook a month-long debut tour of the USA and in 2016 they made their south Asian debut, taking part in the Taipei International Choral Festival. Over the last two years they have given performances in Italy, Germany, Holland and France. This season includes international performances in France (Via Aeterna Music Festival), Poland (for La Folle Journée) and a collaboration with the Academy of Ancient Music.

Apollo5 is part of the VCM Foundation, and leads its innovative education programme aiming to inspire creativity through music. Working alongside vocal ensemble VOCES8 and Paul Smith the programme reaches 40,000 young people annually in the UK, Germany, France, Sweden, the USA and Asia. The Foundation has its home at the Gresham Centre, at St Anne and St Agnes Church. In partnership with the Diocese of London, VCM has established a hub for excellence in education, outreach and the performance of vocal music. Last season saw the first Gresham Centre Festival in which the group performed with VOCES8 and the VOCES8 Scholars.

Apollo5 leads regular workshops, masterclasses, and a children’s concert series at the Gresham Centre, as well as longer term projects and residency programmes. The group oversees an extensive outreach project called the Open Mind Programme in Hackney, Tower Hamlets and Newham. Now in its third year, the Open Mind Programme has received support from Arts Council England, The Merchant Taylors’ Company and the Worshipful Company of Plaisterers. The education programme is also supported by Holman Fenwick Willan and the Ernest Cook Trust.

Apollo5 has released albums with VCM Records, including “The Spirit Like a Dove”, music by Josquin des Prez performed with the Ingenium Ensemble which was Number 4 in the UK Classical Chart, and “With a Song in my Heart”, an album of folk, jazz and pop. Also released is “Journey” on the Edition Peters Sounds label featuring the group with former King’s Singer Paul Phoenix. A new album “O Radiant Dawn”, which explores the human journey through birth, love, struggle, the end of life and reflection will be released in May 2019.

Apollo5 will start to publish its musical arrangements with Edition Peters this year.
