The Temple Church Choir is a formidable force, finely honed and blended - The Daily Telegraph

The Temple Church Choir of twelve choir men and eighteen choristers shot to prominence with the commission and premiere of John Tavener's all-night musical vigil The Veil of the Temple, described by The Daily Telegraph as Tavener's masterpiece. The choir took The Veil to the Lincoln Centre Festival in New York, and then to the BBC Proms. In this concert they will perform the most popular version of Vivaldi's Gloria, the composer's most famous piece of sacred music, and a Christmas classic, as well as other popular Baroque treats.
