'With A Song In My Heart' is the debut album from the dynamic British a cappella quintet, Apollo5. The group performs a repertoire ranging from retro jazz, pop and classical arrangements to Christmas a cappella and has been praised for its engaging and entertaining performances. Performances in London have included St Martin-in-the-Fields, the Royal Albert Hall, the Troxy, Café de Paris, the Houses of Parliament, Pizza Express Jazz Club Soho, The Crazy Coqs and Kings Place. Recent UK festivals include The City of London Festival, The London A Cappella Festival and the Petworth Festival.
Apollo5 is part of the VCM Foundation, and is involved in its innovative education programme aiming to inspire creativity through music. The programme, led by VOCES8, reaches 20,000 young people annually, working in over 200 schools in the UK, France, Sweden, the USA and Asia. The foundation has its home at the Gresham Centre, at St Anne and St Agnes Church in the heart of the City of London. In partnership with the Diocese of London, VCM is establishing a hub for excellence in education, outreach and the performance of vocal music.
The album brings together some of Apollo5's favourite songs, arrangements of favourites ranging from spirituals, folk, jazz, soul and pop. Most are arranged by Matt Greenwood, who has written for the group for several years.
