As part of its London tour, KorMalta will be performing in the heart of London at the historic mediavel Temple Church. Steeped in the history of Christendom and the whole Common Law World, the round church was built in 1162 and has witnessed some key events which went on to shape the modern world. 

Within these fitting walls, KorMalta will be performinga a priceless polyphonic treasure -  works on "Lamentations of Jeremiah the prophet" by various composers published in Paris 1557. The original works are actually written for Renaissance formations and have been authentically transcibred by KorMalta Artistic Director Riccardo Bianchi for a much awaited revival. 

Featuring works by Jacques Arcadelt, Carpentras and Antoine de Fevin, this concert will take audiences back on a journey to mediavel times.
