Exeter Chorale, directed by Dr Nigel Browne, make a welcome return to St Michael’s with a Tea-time Concert at 4pm on Sunday 19th June. We welcome Mr John Draisey as our accompanist and Organ soloist, and Miss Estella Browne on French Horn.

The programme will feature mainly Victorian vocal & organ music ranging from light and well-known pieces “The Lost Chord” & “In a Monastery Garden” to a beautiful “Ave Maria” by Mendelssohn and a “Te Deum/We Praise Thee O God” actually composed by HRH Prince Albert, plus a set of Renaissance Motets, some organ interludes and a little Mozart.

All this accompanied by Home-made Cakes and Tea or Coffee, while you enjoy the beauty of St Michael’s Church and Mount Dinham on a Summer’s afternoon.  Interestingly, Mount Dinham was developed by the eponymous Exeter Tea Merchant John Dinham (1788-1864) at about the same time 1850-70 as much of our music was written or arranged.

Admission is £8 on the door (including Programme and Refreshments); concessions at £5 for Mt Dinham Residents & Students; Children free.
