API docs for the arguments to apply - "([f args* argseq])"; so the
following is perhaps more straight-forward:

(apply str (seq [1 2 3]))
=> "123"

Additionally, the following works too in Cloure 1.0.0:

(apply str [1 2 3])
=> "123"

...though it does not follow from the API docs, which imply that the
last argument to apply should be seq, and "(seq? [1 2 3])" => false.
