The Apex Singers will also perform a selection of songs from their Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award-winning album Hiraeth. This album brings together fresh arrangements of folk- tunes from different cultures representing every continent, from an African lullaby, to a vocalised Irish jig. Following its release Hiraeth was chosen as Simon Mayo’s Album of the Week on Scala Radio and selected as one of Jack Pepper & Angelica Bell’s top three albums of 2020.
