ABOUT THE CONCERTS
The Temple Sanctuary is a world class performance space. As you sit beneath a 195 foot nautilus inspired spiral ceiling, you will feel the music soar in this unique acoustic environment.. We are hosting artists like Peter Mayer and Joel Ansett, gifted folk musicians who write and perform songs that evoke inspiration and peace. There is no ticket fee for the concerts, but we do suggest a $20 donation. Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to participation. This series is sponsored by Community of Christ and the Independence Square Association. Learn more about our artists and reserve tickets below!
