Temple Church, London |
Sayer will direct the choir of men and boys at the Temple Church and will have the benefit of the restored organ. Notable events this season, for the new director and his choristers, include a performance of Britten’s St Nicholas with the Aurora Orchestra in November as part of the Temple Music Foundation's autumn series of concerts, and a gala concert at Cadogan Hall. Sayer will also direct the Temple Church Choir in a performance of Bach and Vivaldi, part of a one-week series from the church, broadcast on BBC Radio 3 Live in Concert from 16th – 20th December.
Sayer's first engagement with the Temple Church choir will be choral evensong for All Saints Day, on 31 October 2013.
For those interested in following the complicated manoevrings in the organ loft, Timothy Byram-Wigfield the previous incumbent at St. George's Chapel, Windsor is moving to All Saints, Margaret Street in succession to Paul Brough.
