Compere Dr Todd Gray adds a historical note to Exeter Philharmonic Choir's annual Carols in the Cathedral on 17 and 18 December, blending the festive music with his own reflections on Devon Christmases, past and present.
The glorious voice of soprano Milly Forrest and the brilliance of trumpeters Cameron Todd and Fraser Tannock will add extra sparkle to the evenings’ performances.
The 100-strong choir will sing carols both traditional and modern, conducted by Musical Director Howard Ionascu and accompanied by Associate Director Stephen Tanner on the organ and piano....
Historian Dr Todd Gray has been awarded an MBE in the New Year’s Honours List for his voluntary services to Devon heritage.
The investiture is at Buckingham Palace on Friday 14 March. For almost a century, University of Exeter historians have actively been involved in Devon based historical studies and societies, all of which survive on voluntary work. The University provided leadership on this active engagement in 1920 when the History department began a programme of Exeter studies and encouraged staff to run local history organisations.
