About the Artists:
Luminescence are a Brisbane (Meanjin) based string group exploring the crevices between classical, contemporary and experimental performance. The group is made up of cellists (Emma Hales and Anitah Kumar) and violinists (Liz Young and Toukie Wood) who are passionate about taking their traditional instruments into unconventional spaces. Luminescence are constantly innovating with their performance through collaboration, design, audience interaction, and a breathtaking program of contemporary music, showcasing internationally acclaimed composers, Brisbane’s own creative talents and genre-bending originals.
Formed in early 2020, Blue Stockings is a performance-making duo born out of a combination of genuine love for classical and art music, and frustration with the limitations of the genre. Soprano Alison Paris and classical guitarist Chloe Hasson share a love for all things boundary-pushing and out of the ordinary; specialising in chamber and art-folk music, and delving into ambient improvisations and soundscapes aided by an array of pedals and haunting use of harmony. Blue Stockings curates shows with original concepts, unique programs, and engaging stories, and have been featured in Anywhere Festival and Brisbane Music
Festival.
