Add to BasketExeter University Choral Society is the university’s only un-auditioned classical choir and sings a wide range of choral works from Vivaldi’s Gloria to Mozart’s Requiem. We are a welcoming mix of students and associate members of all musical abilities, including complete beginners.
We have at least one concert per term at venues such as St David’s Church, the Northcott Theatre and Exeter Cathedral. Our most recent performances include Brahms' Deutsch Requiem, Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb and Haydn’s The Creation accompanied by the University Chamber Orchestra. In our summer term we performed a selection of opera choruses in a relaxed summer concert. We also offer workshops, and have recently hosted the famous composer and conductor, John Rutter!
We rehearse every Monday evening from 7-9pm at the Mary Harris Memorial Chapel (near the Forum) on Streatham Campus. Please feel free to join us at any rehearsal throughout the term! This term we will be singing Howard Goodall's Eternal Light Requiem for a concert in November. Our rehearsals are sometimes followed by a trip to the pub, but there is no pressure to drink, and we host other socials throughout the year including our Christmas dinner.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the committee on choral@groups.exeterguild.com, or message us on our Instagram page @uoechoralsoc. Updates about our concerts and events can be found on our social media and in our weekly email newsletter.
Our aims and objectives:
- Create an inclusive and welcoming musical environment
- Improve members' musical ability, both in terms of vocal technique and theory
- Encourage greater interaction between the university and the wider Exeter community
