“Faire Is The Heaven takes place in the idealistic utopian Birmingham village of Bournville,” explains Ex Cathedra founder Jeffrey Skidmore (pictured) in talking about this latest concert. “From a council estate in Northfield, I went to school there and was a chorister at St Francis Church. 
“This programme includes music from Ex Cathedra’s first 20 years or so, when I was a full-time teacher in four comprehensive schools in the region... Well-loved, popular and typically innovative repertoire was mixed with commissions from John Joubert and Martin Bates, and much of the music brings to mind the group’s ‘legendary’ trips to Cork, Lyon, Leipzig and Milan. These special occasions built the ethos of the choir.”
