Concert: Christmas with The Apex Singers

BUY TICKETS

Apex Singers

The Apex Singers are excited to be performing their annual Christmas concert at the International Anthony Burgess Foundation. The show will feature festive favourites from their Christmas EP Snowed In and their latest release, Stravaig.

Established in 2019 by Artistic Director Ollie Lambert, The Apex Singers are an 8-part vocal ensemble creating innovative vocal music through their unique arrangements and soundworld. Their debut album Hiraeth received critical acclaim including two CARAs (Contemporary A Cappella Recording Awards) and ‘Album of the Week’ on Scala Radio. On 30th September 2022, The Apex Singers released their second studio album, Stravaig. The Scottish verb which means to wander aimlessly relates to the album’s fresh arrangements of Scottish, Irish, American and English folk songs arranged for the group over lockdown. The Apex Singers held a crowdfunding campaign to support the creation of Stravaig, their first simultaneously tracked studio album.
