Bramdean Boys' Choir, Exeter, England, UK

The Boys' Choir was founded by the present Headmaster, Tony Connett, in 1978. The first choristers were drawn from members of the school. In 1983 a full time choirmaster was engaged.

Over the last twenty years the choir has sung an extremely varied repertoire with its roots firmly grounded in that of the Cathedral Music tradition. The boys are well known for being able to sing music typically performed by continental boys' choirs together with a wide selection of secular music. Their regular broadcasting for BBC radio and television and Sky Television has always been well received.
