    Event description

    From Andreas Vesalius’ groundbreaking De Humani Corporis Fabrica to the drawings of Da Vinci and Dürer, the 16th century heralded a new fascination with the human figure. Human dissection transformed our understanding of anatomy, and the body became the subject of scientific and artistic fixation. 

    In the spirit of Buxtehude’s much-loved ‘Membra Jesu Nostri’, each movement of Dan Walker’s new song cycle ‘Of The Body’ is devoted to an anatomical part: the eyes, the hands, the mouth, the feet, the blood, and finally, the heart.  

    In a concert that traverses sex, sensuality, the senses and more, Luminescence Chamber Singers explore our relationship to our corporeal form; our flesh and blood.
