What is it?

• A choir for adults who have any sort of link to West Buckland School (parent or ex-parent, staff or alumni, governor, friend of a friend of a friend etc………)
• You don’t need any experience; indeed you might not have sung for years or believe yourself totally useless – YOU ARE WELCOME. Come along and give it a go!
• Have a watch of a previous concert (4 mins of highlights) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwxJQESN1Q4

 
When and where will the chorus perform?

• In Exeter Cathedral on the 27^th June 2020 as part of the West Buckland Choral Concert alongside the 60/70 strong Senior Choir and accompanied by the North Devon Sinfonia (www.northdevonsinfonia.org.uk).
