As the 2008 Temple Festival draws to a close we usher in the Christmas festivities with a wonderfully imaginative programme of seasonal music performed by the Temple Church Choir.
This concert takes us through the centuries with a programme of music that has been sung in the Temple Church for generations and which still sounds as fresh and beautiful today as when first performed.
Both Purcell and Sir John Tavener have strong connections with the Temple and the splendid music of J S Bach is perfect music to play on the Temple Church organ.
Come and join us for what promises to be an excellent start to the festive season.
Tickets: £20, £15, £10 unreserved seating
