Membership News

The 2009/2010 Season ended with a very exciting concert on 17th April 2010 which was almost entirely accompanied by a brass group, Farnaby Brass. The final item was John Rutter's Gloria which was a bit different for choir steeped in baroque music! But we almost got a standing ovation at the end: British audiences are not good a expressing their feeling quite so openly but there were some cheers. The next concert is to be at St James' Church, Exeter, on Saturday 6th November 2010. This is a new venue for us and we will be returning to Purcell, Bach and Handel. We will be singing two JSB Cantatas in Exeter Cathedral with the renamed Voluntary Choir, now called the St Peter's Singers. We are hoping that Brian Kay will be leading another workshop in February next year.

And on 2nd April 2011 at St David's Church, Exeter, we will be tackling the great Bach Mass in B minor.

We will be starting rehearsals for the next season Thursday 9th September. If you would like to join us please come along that evening or ring the Hon Secretary - see Join us page.
