ABOUT THE CONCERTS
The Temple Sanctuary is a world class performance space in Independence, MO. As you sit beneath a 195 foot nautilus inspired spiral ceiling, you will feel the music soar in this unique acoustic environment.. We host unique artists like Peter Mayer, Joel Ansett, Spencer LaJoye, Madisen Ward, and Carrie Newcomer— 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 donations based on concert expenses. 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!

27th Annual Super Bowl Concert!
We are excited for Jan’s 27th consecutive concert on Superbowl Sunday! Experience the beautiful organ in the Temple Sanctuary with Jan’s extraordinary playing. This concert is free to the community! From Jan:
My annual concert on Super Bowl Sunday, for the 27th year! This concert will celebrate milestones: significant dates for many, including the 250th anniversary of the founding of our country, the 100th anniversary of Winnie the Pooh, new pieces by a teenaged Johann Sebastian Bach which were just discovered last year, and many more.
As always, admission is free, and there is plenty of free parking available. This year's venue is the Temple (spiral-shaped building) and the organ is its magnificent 102-rank Casavant. Come join in the fun!
