Luminescence Chamber Singers (Kandos)

PRESALE FOR THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT. TICKETS WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR ON A SPACE-AVAILABLE BASIS.

Music in the Regions and Kandos Museum present Luminescence Chamber Singers in concert.

Music in the Regions returns to NSW’s Central West & Orana regions, featuring the voices of Luminescence Chamber Singers. A six-piece vocal ensemble, Luminescence champions the unbound expressive potential of our original instrument - the human voice.

In Drawing Breath Luminescence Chamber Singers explore first breaths, last breaths, and music as diverse as the vast compass of human life and feeling in between: from Machaut and Gesualdo, to Pink Floyd, and newly commissioned works by Australian composers.
