Re-imagined
The Temple Singers
Thomas Allery (director)
Charlie Andrews (organ)
Temple Singers’ immersive concerts, using the whole sweep of the Temple Church, are much-anticipated events. This programme of arrangements and re-imaginings of music from ancient chant, through Renaissance polyphony to Barber’s own arrangement of his Adagio for Strings, offers an hour of sublime choral music in one of London’s oldest and most beautiful churches. It includes the world premiere of a new work by our featured emerging composer, Anna Semple (pictured).
