The Choir of Exeter College is well known as one of Oxford’s finest mixed-voice chapel choirs. Its main duty is to sing Evensong three times a week, on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, as well as the services of Holy Communion and Compline… The new organ, by J. W. Walker & Sons, draws its inspiration from the style of the French Romantic organ-builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll.
