Spem in Alium - the 40 voice spectacular

Join us for an extraordinary choral experience featuring The Temple Singers under the direction of Thomas Allery!

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Thomas Tallis’s renowned motet, Spem in alium nunquam habui praeter in te, Deus Israel. This monumental work, crafted around 1572–73, is celebrated for its intricate counterpoint, employing forty independent vocal lines arranged into eight choirs of five voices each.

Originally performed at the stunning Nonsuch Palace, this composition takes you on an auditory journey, with sound flowing seamlessly from choir to choir, wrapping the audience in harmonious waves. Experience the grandeur of towering vocal passages intertwined with intimate musical dialogues among smaller groups, creating a profoundly immersive experience.

This concert not only showcases a living sculpture of sound, but also celebrates the retirement of The Revd Robin Griffith-Jones, Master of Temple Church.

This magnificent event is supported by a consortium of generous donors.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a truly unique choral performance!
