I played first trumpet, with Katie McClaughtry on second trumpet, and Harriet Riley on timpani. The rendition of The Trumpet Shall Sound, complete with the B section and the Dal Segno was very enjoyable, as was the performance of the soprano aria I know that my redeemer liveth.

The cathedral was packed almost to capacity, and the performance received a standing ovation.

It was great to be back in Exeter, and to see the return of the popular Christmas markets.
