Images of the Divine

Temple Singers

Thomas Allery (conductor)

The Temple Singers return with a compelling programme reflecting sacred mysticism across centuries and Christian traditions. At its centre is Frank Martin’s Mass for Double Choir, a powerful and private statement of faith, heard alongside works by Hildegard von Bingen, Josquin des Prez, Stravinsky, Tavener and Messiaen. Eric Whitacre’s Sainte-Chapelle, inspired by the glowing stained glass of the Parisian chapel, imagines a young girl stepping inside and hearing the voices of angels softly singing the Sanctus, a vision that resonates with the divine encounters explored throughout the programme.

Duration: One hour (no interval)
