Exeter Festival Chorus
Founded in 1993, EFC is a non-professional award-winning choir which sings regularly with professional orchestras and soloists. We plan our programmes to give local audiences a
stimulating mix of works within the established choral repertoire together with music that reaches out into the less well-known and the contemporary choral scene. This is our
continuing commitment to putting on concerts of exciting choral music, performed to the highest possible standard under the dynamic musical direction of Nigel Perrin, one of the
country’s leading choral conductors.
Other features in the life of the choir are community-oriented activities such as choral workshops and fund-raising concerts for charities. We also regularly travel abroad to collaborate with overseas choirs in joint musical projects.
In the last six years we have premiered the following contemporary works in Exeter and the South West:
- Fanshawe’s African Sanctus
- Jenkins’ The Armed Man
- Jenkins’ Stabat Mater
- Patterson’s Millennium Mass
- James MacMillan’s Seven Last Words from the Cross
- Will Todd’s Mass In Blue
- John Adams’ Harmonium
