An evening of music to raise funds towards the choir's tour to France in July 2025.
The first half of the concert includes performances from internationally renowned opera singers Madeleine Shaw, Eamonn Mulhall, Tim Mirfin and flautist Ellen Wiles - all also Exeter Cathedral Chorister parents - accompanied by the Cathedral’s Director of Music, Timothy Noon. The programme includes music of Mahler, Fauré, Tosti and Brahms.
For the second half, the choir adults step out from their stalls and organ loft, cast aside their cassocks, let down their hair and perform solos and more.

Following close on from completion of the new Quire flooring just before Easter 2024, work began in the summer of 2024 to lay new heating and electrics in the Ambulatory. This involves lifting the current foor and carrying out archaeological investigations prior to the new installations being laid. Work began in the north ambulatory and will gradually move round the quire.
Construction of the new Cloisters Gallery is very near completion.
