Welcome
to St Peter's Music 2009
We are the concert promoting arm of St Peter's Church,
Budleigh Salterton.
About seven or eight times each year from March to November
we promote a concert in our lovely church. If you click on
the links on the left 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. Exeter School has
been included for several years and Wells Cathedral School
and the Purcell School have played on a number of
occasions.
We have also welcomed the Takacs Quartet, pianists Paul
Lewis and John Lenehan as well as the Chamber Ensemble of
St Martins in the Field in the last few years.
