Welcome
to St Peter's Music 2011
We are the concert promoting arm of St Peter's Church,
Budleigh Salterton.
A number of times each year from Spring to Autumn we
promote a concert in our lovely church. If you click on the
links on the right you will find details of this year's
concerts, the church and how to find it, where to park and
how to buy tickets in advance.
Please note that concerts this year are on various evenings
and not just a Thursday.
History
St Peter's Music was started in 1994 by the then Vicar, The
Revd Robert Gibbs and the Director of Music, Sylvia
Pritchard. The intention was to provide regular concerts,
mainly, but not exclusively, chamber music, to enable local
residents to enjoy serious music without the need to travel
to Exeter. Since then the organisation has changed little
and the aim not at all. There is some emphasis in the
programming to feature young musicians. Exeter School has
been included for several years and return again in 2011
and Wells Cathedral School and the Purcell School have also
played on a number of occasions.
We have also welcomed the Takacs Quartet, pianist Paul
Lewis as well as the Chamber Ensemble of St Martins in the
Field in the last few years. Well known pianist John Lill
played for us last spring.
