Description

“Luminescence, like its namesake in nature, is a phenomenon.” Canberra City News, June 2025

It strikes like a particle, but moves like a wave; emanates in straight lines, yet drapes the world in beauty. Light is the ultimate ephemera; it can't be bottled, only felt, remembered, or experienced blazingly new. Particles of Light sees light in the sound of six voices, in radiant vocal music that glimmers, refracts and fractures into colour, from the 'light tales' of Elena Kats-Chernin to the dawning of Nardi Simpson’s ‘Yarrager Mayraa’. Join Luminescence Chamber Singers as they take the stage for a joyful celebration of their founding metaphor: how singing illuminates.

Luminescence presents an annual concert program in Canberra, Sydney and surrounding regions as well as appearing for a range of festivals, collaborations, and special events.
