Welcome to the home of Devon County Junior Choir

It is free to join DCJC. We meet regularly on term time Saturday mornings, 9.15 -11am at Kalendar Hall, South Street, Exeter which is the music department of Exeter Cathedral School.

The choir sings a wide variety of music in different styles. The programme for 2009/10 includes concerts with Hayley Westenra, James Gilchrist and Exeter Philharmonic Choir, 3 Outreach Concerts and a lunchtime concert in June, in the Chapter House.

Whilst practices are for choir members only, we shall really look forward to welcoming parents, family and friends to our public performances.

DCJC is directed by Mrs. Rachel Smith who is the Assistant Music Teacher at Exeter Cathedral School. Rachel is an experienced primary school teacher, specialising in music and is highly regarded for her musical work with children. Rachel, herself a former member of the National Youth Choir and several Devon County music ensembles, is a well established performer in piano, choral and solo singing. She is enjoying this chance to share her enthusiasm for singing with young singers, and developing the County Junior Choir.

DCJC is part of "Sing Up," the Government's National Singing Programme, and in Exeter is linked to an exciting Chorister Outreach Programme, a scheme designed to encourage and enable Cathedrals to use their musical resources and tradition to promote singing among children in primary schools.
