Events

Come to the Temple for a fun and educational day of singing led by John Rutter, one of the UK’s leading contemporary choral conductors and composers.

Assisted by an accompanist John Rutter will lead participants through a variety of choral music including some of his own, some familiar pieces and some less familiar interspersed with a few stories, singing hints and tips.

Music is supplied and so all you have to do is turn up to the beautiful setting of Inner Temple Hall for what promises to be a fantastic day of singing. There is no minimum standard of singing required but we do recommend booking in advance as places are limited and cannot be guaranteed on the day.

The day will start at 11am with a lunch break at 12.45pm. Lunch will be served in the beautiful surroundings of the Temple Bench Apartments in Inner Temple with views over Inner Temple Garden.
NB for this event enter the Temple via the Tudor Gate entrance

Tickets: £17.50 to include morning and afternoon coffee and tea, and a sandwich lunch.
