Ecoca Reunion - Rehearsal |
Reunion Dinner |
The Exeter Cathedral Old Choristers' Association takes pride in being considered one of the most actively supported Old Choristers' Association in Britain.
Chair: Cressida Peers
Secretary: Charlotte Longhurst
Treasurer: Matt Smith
We strongly encourage all Exeter Choristers to become Full Members of Exeter Cathedral Old Choristers’ Association (ECOCA) when they finish singing in the choir.
We also warmly encourage current and former Exeter Lay Vicars, Choral Scholars, Deputies and Organists, as well as those who wish to support ECOCA, to become Associate Members.
The main aims of the Association include making former choristers continue to feel part of the choir and encouraging them to become involved in promoting and developing the choir. Membership of the Association keeps them informed about choir developments and associated cathedral musical news, through receiving a regular ECOCA Newsletter.
The Association’s main annual event is the Easter Monday reunion. All members of the Association are invited to this. The day includes everyone singing in two services, lunch at the school and a celebratory evening dinner with guest speaker. Detailed information is sent out to Association members in the Spring of each year.
Full Members
All former Choristers of the Cathedral may become full members of the Association by:
- One-off payment of £20 for life membership.
- While former choristers are in full-time education, there are no further fees until they cease full-time education.
