Exeter Philharmoninc Choir performs Handel's SOLOMON

Exeter Philharmonic Choir’s Lord Mayor’s concert this spring is a not-to-be-missed musical event, and a first for EPC. On Saturday 14 March 2026 the choir and four soloists will sing Handel's majestic oratorio Solomon, a work not known to have been performed in Exeter Cathedral since its composition in 1748.

High drama, rich orchestration and some of Handel’s most exquisite choral writing combine in this rarely performed masterpiece, including the sparkling ‘Arrival of the Queen of Sheba’.

Exeter Philharmonic Choir is delighted to welcome Martha McLorinan as the wise King Solomon; Amy Carson, doubling as his Queen and the Queen of Sheba; Hugo Hymas as Zadok the Priest; and Timothy Dickinson as the Levite. The choir will be singing in eight voice parts, with Endelienta Baroque adding to the rich tapestry of sound.

This concert promises to be a musical event to remember: Book your tickets at www.ticketsource.co.uk/exeterphilchoir
