DESCRIPTION:Gabrieli return to the programme that put them on the musical 
 map when they recorded and released it in 1990: A Venetian Coronation 1595
  is a musical recreation evoking the grand pageantry of the Coronation Mas
 s for Venetian Doge Marino Grimani. His love of ceremony and state festiva
 ls fuelled an extraordinary musical bounty during his reign and formed the
  background to the musical riches of the period\, especially to the works 
 of Giovanni Gabrieli.\n\nWith cornetts\, sackbuts and an all-male consort\
 , Paul McCreesh exploits the dazzling polyphony of Andrea and Giovanni Gab
 rieli’s music. The theatrical and ceremonious performance is sure to cap
 tivate our audience.\n\nThe running time of this concert is approximately 
 85 minutes\, no interval.  The performance should end at approximately 9pm
 .

 ish cellist Raphael Wallfisch brings to life the timeless genius of Johann
  Sebastian Bach. Performing the first three of Bach’s iconic Cello Suite
 s entirely from memory\, Wallfisch offers a rare and intimate interpretati

 ontemporary of Bach. Each location has been carefully chosen for its uniqu
 e acoustics and natural light\, elements that profoundly shape both perfor
 mance and listening experience. Among these\, Temple Church stands out not
  only for its beauty but for its musical legacy\, having hosted Paul Torte
 lier’s celebrated recording over four decades ago.\n\nWallfisch’s proj

 s\, making this performance an extraordinary preview of something truly hi
 storic. In the luminous and resonant surroundings of Temple Church\, music
  and architecture meet\, creating a powerful artistic dialogue where sound
 \, space\, and structure inspire one another.\n\nThis special event is mor
 e than a concert.  It is a celebration of artistic excellence and heritage
 \, while also supporting Temple Church’s £6.7m redevelopment project - 
 including the creation of a new Song School\, disabled access and enhanced
  public facilities.\n\nJoin us for an evening where music\, history\, and 
 purpose come together in perfect harmony.\n\nThis event is promoted by Tem
 ple Church Trust.

CATEGORIES:
DESCRIPTION:The Temple Singers\nThomas Allery\, conductor\n\nThomas Tallis
 ’s monumental motet Spem in alium nunquam habui praeter in te\, Deus Isr
 ael (I have never placed my hope in any other but in You\, O God of Israel
 ) stands as one of the most extraordinary achievements in choral music. Ra
 rely performed\, it is a breathtaking feat of contrapuntal imagination\, c
 onceived for an astonishing forty independent vocal lines arranged into ei
 ght choirs of five voices each.\n\nComposed around 1572–73\, Spem in ali
 um is believed to have been first performed at Nonsuch Palace\, the Earl o
 f Arundel’s summer residence\, whose octagonal hall and surrounding balc
 onies likely inspired Tallis’s bold spatial design. The music unfolds as
  sound travels through space - surging from choir to choir\, surrounding t
 he listener in waves of resonance. Towering passages for all forty voices 
 alternate with intimate exchanges among smaller groups\, while musical ide
 as leap across the ensemble.\n\nThe result is a profoundly immersive\, alm
 ost architectural experience: a living sculpture of sound that envelops bo
 th ear and imagination.\n\nThis concert is supported by a consortium of do
 nors\, and is given to mark the retirement of The Revd Robin Griffith-Jone
 s\, Master of Temple Church.\n\nFull Programme\n\nJosquin des Prez (c.1450
