Welcome to St Peter's Music 2012
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.
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 but not this year. We were unable to find any that were available. Exeter School has been included for several years 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 two year ago. Last year we featured pianist Peter Donohoe, clarinettist Emma Johnson and the Endellion Quartet.
