SUPPORTING THE WORK OF THE TEMPLE CHURCH CHOIR

The Temple Church Choristers at the Supreme Court, Washington DC, after their triumphant concert there.

In November 2014 the choir visited Washington DC for the celebration of the
Magna Carta Exhibition at the Library of Congress. The choir sang twice at the
Library itself, in the presence of HRH The Princess Royal (there in her capacity
as Inner Temple’s Royal Bencher), and then in the Supreme Court. Alongside the
choir in the Inns’ delegation were both the Treasurers of 2014 and of 2015.
Masters Judge, Tomlinson and Moore-Bick all took part in discussions of the
living legacy of Magna Carta. This ambassadorial trip to celebrate the Charter was
a triumph.

We are now looking forward to the Classic FM broadcast of the choir’s concert
on Thursday 4 June; to the choir’s music at Runnymede on Magna Carta Day
itself, 15 June; and to the choir’s tour of Holland, July 2015.

If you might like to support any of the choir’s projects or the endowment of our
choristers’ educational bursaries, you are most welcome to contact me.
