THE EXON SINGERS is recognised as one of the UK’s leading chamber choirs. Founded in 1966, it has become renowned for its dynamic and expressive performances of music from the Renaissance to the present day.

The Exon Singers can often be heard on BBC Radios 3 and 4 and on CD. In early January 2008 the choir recorded a new disc of music by Howard Skempton on the Delphian label, which will be released in the summer 2008. This follows on from two previous critically acclaimed discs for Delphian : a 2006 disc of world premiere recordings of music by Francis Jackson, and in 2004 a first recording of a reconstruction of Vespers by Tomás Luis de Victoria. Under the direction of Matthew Owens, the choir has also received considerable recognition for the commissioning of new works from some of the today’s most exciting composers - Richard Allain, David Briggs, Grayston Ives, Francis Jackson, Gabriel Jackson, George Lloyd and Howard Skempton.

Since 1973, the annual Exon Singers Festival has been based in the historic market town of Tavistock on the edge of Dartmoor, and includes the venues of Tavistock Parish Church and Buckfast Abbey.
