Winter Festival: Onyx Brass

Onyx Brass

What could be more festive (and nostalgic) than the glorious sonority of a brass ensemble in the Temple Church? From the timeless quality of Tallis and the melancholy of an ancient Irish carol, through the haunting beauty of Emily Hall's 'Eternity', to one of the jewels of Bach's Advent music, this diverse programme spans over 300 years.
