Description
Where do all roses go? The renowned British vocal quintet Apollo5 fills the expansive space of the neo-Romanesque Church of St. Elisabeth with music about the way of all earthly things. The programme encompasses 500 years of vocal music, from the earliest polyphony to the ensemble’s new commissioned works. Singing about love, life and all its contradictions.
