Gioisca was formed in 2014 to explore the wealth of repertoire for high
soprano, Baroque trumpet and organ. The group’s repertoire has
expanded to include a variety of works in different styles, and this
evening’s programme reflects both the musical aims of the Exeter Bach
Society and the fascinating and unusual history of the Customs House.

Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Known especially for her work in
oratorio and solo song, Héloïse has established a career in the South West

Orchestra, the National Chamber Orchestra and the Durban City
