masterpieces from the Renaissance to the present day. The Choir
performs at venues across Devon, including Buckfast Abbey, Dartington
Great Hall and Exeter Cathedral, as well as further afield.

you be interested in joining, the Exeter Chamber Choir is always
pleased to hear from experienced singers with clear voices and good
sight-reading ability. Please write to Norman Waldron, Secretary, 44,
