Songs by Schubert and Wolf
Poulenc Fiançailles pour rire
The talented young British tenor Nathan Vale returns to the Temple Church for this lunchtime recital of late-Romantic songs. His programme will include songs from Schubert and Wolf, together with Poulenc’s song cycle. This series of six melodies, based on the poems of Louise de Vilmorin, are set for solo voice and piano and, interestingly, it was not a tenor, but the soprano Geneviève Touraine who gave the first performance in 1942.
Tickets: £10 (unreserved seating)

Fauré and Wolf, Ravel’s Histoires Naturelles and Schubert- including An Sylvia, Die Sterne and Schubert’s setting of Schiller’s Gruppe aus dem Tartarus.
One of the world’s most charismatic and highly sought-after singers of our generation, the celebrated English baritone Simon Keenlyside performs for the first time in the Temple Song Series, with Julius Drake. Keenlyside has performed on many of the world’s greatest opera stages, including the Royal Opera House, the Metropolitan Opera in New York and La Scala, Milan, but he is also one of the most sought-after song recitalists of his generation.
Please note this highly anticipated recital will take place in the Temple Church.
“Keenlyside slipped effortlessly from one ravishing head-voice ascent to the next, a sound so honeyed and so enticing that whilst listening to it you can’t imagine that there is a lovelier lyric baritone on the planet.”
- Edward Seckerson, The Independent

Mark Luther – tenor
Tom McVeigh - baritone
Howard Charles, City Music Services - producer
This concert is being offered in support of the Temple Church Organ Appeal.
It is a special performance by a completely amateur choir drawn from Allen & Overy, Blackrock, Freshfields and KPMG. They are coming together to raise their voices in support of the Temple Church Organ Appeal. The choir will be joined by children from Stepney Greencoats School, Limehouse.
Carmina Burana is a scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff in 1935 and 1936. It is based on twenty-four of the poems found in the medieval collection Carmina Burana. Young student Michel Hofmann assisted Orff in the selection and organization of these poems into a libretto, mostly in Latin verse, with a small amount of Middle High German and Old Provençal. It is a vividly colourful and lively work, covering secular elements of life: the fickleness of fortune and wealth, the ephemeral nature of life, the joy of the return of Spring, and the perils of life’s corporal pleasures.
