Temple Church Music Marathon

A Day of Music Making at Temple Church

Please come along to this lively 12 hour music marathon at the Temple Church to support the Temple Church Boys Choir on their 2016 tour to Australia and Singapore.

The recently restored Harrison organ will be put through its paces with a wide variety of music performed throughout the day. Come and hear Roger Sayer and Greg Morris explore the full range of the organ and show what it can do! Refreshments will be available all day including a cake stall, tea and coffee, and courtyard drinks in the evening.

You can support the cause by coming along at any time throughout the day on the 23rd June to listen the wonderful live music, have a drink and make a donation. Alternatively, you can donate any amount online, or choose one of the special fundraising options including requesting a tune for £100, sitting in the organ loft alongside the organist for £250 or even playing the organ for £500!
