It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that our tenor, Oli, will be leaving us in August. He’s been a dedicated, warm and vibrant presence in the group for over half our years of existence, and we will miss him more than we can say.
Here’s a message from Oli:
Being part of Apollo5 has meant that I’ve been able to realise my dream job of being a singer. The freedom and responsibility in the music-making, as well as singing in all the genres that Apollo5 offers, is so rare an opportunity in this industry and I’m so grateful to have been able to perform at this level. Particular standout moments include: singing through a thunderstorm in the pouring rain in France; Josh and I being dragged into doing karaoke for St Patrick’s day in the middle of nowhere in North Dakota; and making my Wigmore Hall debut with the group. But – as they say – sadly all good things come to an end, although I hope my new chapter will not take me too far away from this wonderful group of singers. I have to thank many people: my friends for life in Apollo5, Voces8 and the Foundation for all the experience and joy I’ve experienced over the past seven or so years. See you all again soon. x
