ExeVox Choir Musical Director: Peter Adcock (centre) |
We are directed by the dynamic Peter Adcock, who is a phenomal player of any type of key-board.
We sing a very varied repertoire, which is why we love this choir so much. So in any one concert you might hear Bach's stunning motet 'Jesu meine Freude' , Gershwin's 'I Got Rhythm', and Flanders and Swann's 'Slow Train'.
We perform mainly in churches in Devon but have sung in the Guildhall for the Mayor's Charity, and in a Cathedral in the South of France. Other venues have included public squares, market places, hotels and a number of restaurants . . . Last week we sang at a wedding in the Royal Naval College Dartmouth, which was fascinating.
We also have informal sub-choirs such as a quartet who are performing in St Stephen's Church on the afternoon of Tuesday 10th June for carers as part of Carer's Week and another close harmony quartet called G.C.H.Q. (Glorious Close Harmony Quartet) who are singing in Ide on 20th July for Hospiscare.
We take our music very seriously but we do not take ourselves too seriously. Our web-site address is http://www.exevox.org.uk/
