Exeter Philharmonic Choir is proud to have raised funds for many local charities at its annual carol concerts in Exeter Cathedral. This year the donations received will go to Refugee Support Devon. The charity’s vision is for Devon to be a place where refugees are welcomed and supported to rebuild their lives and integrate successfully into their new communities. With the help of the cash collection, it will be able to provide welcome packs for newly arrived asylum seekers in Devon.
The exciting programme of music for our ‘Carols in the Cathedral’ on 12 and 13 December 2023 will include familiar tunes alongside new settings of traditional carols. Guest artist will be Julian Poore on trumpet, with the choir’s associate director of music, Stephen Tanner, on organ and piano. The choir is particularly looking forward to performing a new carol Stephen has written for us, called Nova! Nova!
As always, the audience will be encouraged to raise the Cathedral’s resplendent roof by joining the choir to sing some well-known Christmas carols.
