Exeter Philharmonic Choir

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Holy Trinity
Holy Trinity, Exmouth, EX8 2AB, United Kingdom

On a balmy summer evening in Exmouth, the stunning setting of Holy Trinity Church provides the perfect backdrop for a vibrant celebration of choral music with a jazz-inspired twist. The choir is joined by a superb jazz trio: Andrew Downton (piano); Phil Williams (bass); and Ryan Carter (drums). Under the expert direction of Stephen Tanner, the programme brims with energy and warmth, bringing irresistible rhythm and colour to an evening of captivating music.

At its heart is Then Sing We All by Iain Farrington, a sparkling, celebratory work that captures the exhilaration and shared joy of singing together. The evening also features A Little Jazz Mass by Bob Chilcott, a brilliant and imaginative fusion of the Latin Missa Brevis with the vibrant spirit of New Orleans jazz, composed for the Crescent City Choral Festival in 2004.

Adding to the sense of occasion are three first performances by Stephen Tanner: fresh and expressive jazz settings of Psalms 23 and 150, alongside an intriguing reimagining of the well-known Minuets in G major and G minor from the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach, newly shaped into the inventive Four-Five-Four Minuet.

Rich harmonies, infectious rhythms and radiant choral sound combine to create an evening of music that is both uplifting and unforgettable. The perfect soundtrack to a summer’s night!"

St Margaret and St Andrews Church

A church at Littleham is mentioned in the Bull of Eugenius in 1149 but it is probable that it had been in existence for many years before – even back to Saxon days. These days, St Margaret & St Andrew's Church is a friendly, welcoming Church where people from around the Parish and beyond worship and enjoy fellowship together. We are one of three Churches in the Mission Community of Littleham-cum-Exmouth with Lympstone. Our Sunday morning service is at 10.00 am. Twice a month the morning service is an All Age family friendly service. During Term time on Sundays at 5.30 pm we hold an informal "Open to God" worship service, with a bring and share meal followed by a reading, talk and worship songs. This beautiful, old Church the perfect setting for Weddings and Baptisms. The Churchyard has the tomb of Lady Nelson among other historical figures. There is plenty of room for future burials and we are proud of the Natural Burial Ground and our rewilding  project to protect the local biodiversity. Our Sexton, Shaun, is happy to advise people with any Churchyard queries and our experienced clergy will be honoured to guide you through all life events, including funeral services.
