Stephen Tanner

A freelance choral director, organist, composer and arranger, Stephen joined Exeter Philharmonic Choir as Associate Director of Music in 2017. He is also the choir’s accompanist and directs its Pilgrims’ Chorus, which makes annual expeditions giving choral concerts while walking ancient pilgrimage routes.

Stephen graduated in Music from the University of Huddersfield. For many years he was Director of Music at Exeter Cathedral School, and Assistant Organist and Director of Girl Choristers at Exeter Cathedral.

His musical interests are wide and he has a particular affinity for jazz. Stephen directed our ‘Sacred Jazz’ concert in 2022, including his new composition, Jazz Te Deum and Jubilate Deo. He will direct our second concert of Jazz for a Summer Evening next June.
