On Saturday 4 October at 7.30pm a concert of glorious music for choir and brass is to take place in the Methodist Church in Sidwell Street.
The music to be performed is by Venetian composers from the 16th– 17th centuries, including Gabrieli, Schutz and Monteverdi.
In true Venetian fashion, the different ‘choirs’ of brass instruments and voices will be positioned at various points in the church, making the most of the wonderful gallery and staircases and the fantastic acoustic.
Indeed the church will become Exeter’s equivalent to St. Mark’s Basilica, Venice!
