The Temple, in the heart of London, is a beautiful, serene and even secret place. Lying peacefully between two of London’s busiest thoroughfares, Fleet Street and the Embankment, the Temple’s gardens, courtyards, ancient buildings and historic Temple Church is a place that is treasured by those who know it and astonishes those who find it for the first time.

Julius Drake , creator and artistic director of Temple Song , was captivated by Middle Temple Hall, the Temple Church, Inner Temple Gardens and all the surroundings and buildings which make up the Temple. The germ of an idea that such a place would make performances of song and chamber music a particularly special experience encouraged him to plan and deliver these outstanding series of concerts.

In 2010 Julius Drake brings the fifth Temple Song Series of distinguished international singers to the Temple, together with a special presentation of outstanding young singers who will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Robert Schumann.

Great music and great performers -  I do hope you will be able to join us.
