Exeter School celebrates over 50 years of Choral Society Concert at Exeter Cathedral

Exeter School is looking forward to performing three contrasting pieces for the annual Choral Society concert held at Exeter Cathedral on Thursday 17 March.

Made up of current pupils, parents, staff and guests, Choral Society will perform Fauré's Requiem, a favourite within the choral repertoire, featuring a solo from music scholar Rebecca German who will sing the famous Pie Jesu.

New to many performers and audiences will be contemporary composer Paul Patterson's Magnificat. The piece is a real showcase for the glorious combination of choir, brass, percussion and organ and will provide a stunning spectacle in the Cathedral. 

Adiemus, the work of another popular modern composer, Karl Jenkins, will be performed by the Middle School and Junior Choirs. Familiar as the theme tune for Delta Airlines, the multi-cultural influences, haunting choral sounds of the young voices and strings and percussion accompaniment promise to delight and inspire.

Director of Music Peter Tamblyn said this year's repertoire was representative of the inclusive nature of music at Exeter School where pupils from the Junior School through to the Sixth Form will take part in the annual concert at Exeter Cathedral.

"I am delighted that people of all ages from across the school community come to sing in our Choral Society and I am certain that the music we are performing this year will satisfy all musical tastes.

"Thank you to Packexe for their ongoing support of this concert."

Prices for the concert are £16 (in the main body of the cathedral, where sound and vision are at their best), £11 (towards the back of the cathedral) and £8 (unreserved side aisle seats). There are reductions for children. Tickets are available to purchase from www.exeterschool.org.uk/box-office
