The Temple Church Choir

The Temple Church Choir, based in London’s historic Temple Church, has been blending sacred music traditions with world-class choral performances since the 12th century. Known for its unique mix of boy choristers and adult professional singers (called "choral scholars"), the choir maintains a rich legacy tied to the church’s medieval roots and its connection to the Knights Templar. Their repertoire spans centuries, from Renaissance polyphony to modern masterpieces like John Tavener’s *The Veil of the Temple*, which they famously premiered in an all-night performance. Recent releases like *A Knight’s Progress* and *A Festival of Psalms* showcase their versatility, balancing reverent hymns, festive carols, and lush psalm settings. Led by Master of Music Roger Sayer, the choir regularly records on labels like Signum Classics and performs in the church’s awe-inspiring round nave, where their soaring harmonies echo beneath ancient stone arches. Whether they’re tackling Christmas classics or complex contemporary works, their sound remains a timeless bridge between London’s musical past and present.
