David Temple
Music Director of Crouch End Festival Chorus
 
A CHILD OF OUR TIME
 
Focusing his thoughts on one particular piece, Sir Michael Tippett’s 20th Century Oratorio A CHILD OF OUR TIME,  David will explore the interpretative process from the conductor's point of view, how to communicate this with the performers and ultimately the audience.  The talk will include some background on the work and its subject matter and some insight as to how he prepares the score and the performance.

David Temple came to London in 1972 from the North East and joined the London Philharmonic Choir where he sang under chorus master John Alldis.  In 1984 he began his work with the newly formed CEFC. The choir has progressed from being a reputable local choral society to become a choir of international standing.
He is also Musical Director of the Hertfordshire Chorus and regularly leads acclaimed performances with them in St Albans Cathedral.

The talk will be followed by lunch for members and their guests and visitors.  All are most welcome.  Would members and associates please bring a dish to share.
