Gesualdo Tenebrae II
GESUALDO TENEBRAE II: All was made dark
Luminescence continues their three-year odyssey into the dark heart of the Renaissance, with the harrowing epicentre of Gesualdo’s Tenebrae: the Responsoria for Feria Sexta (Good Friday). Four centuries on, this totemic work from an Italian master remains shockingly avant-garde. Tormented by his own murderous crimes, and likely unheard in his lifetime beyond the walls of his own castle, Gesualdo’s twisted harmony turns inward, the texture ever denser, and the pacing ebbing ever slower as he addresses the bloody core of the Passion story. Suspended between betrayal and resurrection, Gesualdo’s most desolate work pulls us into his unrelieved confrontation with suffering, death, and guilt.
‘These are motets built on betrayal, grief, and the flickering edge of faith. They demand singers of virtuosity and insight – and Luminescence delivered.’ - Classikon (March 2025)

Particles of Light
“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 and the Machine
The primal force of the human voice meets the vast machinery of the digital age in a Canberra International Music Festival exclusive, as the six virtuosic singers of Luminescence step into a radically new sound world. This is ensemble singing amplified, rewired, and supercharged.
Developed in collaboration with GRAMMY Award winning producer/composer William Brittelle and GRAMMY Award winning bass Cameron Beauchamp (Roomful of Teeth), LUMINESCENCE AND THE MACHINE probes the porous boundary between the human and bionic. Ground-breaking electronic architecture enables each singer to digitally manipulate their own voice in real-time, and triggers a complex web of reflexive, inter-dependent effects and unleashing new sonic possibilities for vocal ensembles.
Witness the world premiere of this audacious new music project, where technology and humanity hum in dangerous, dazzling harmony.
Featuring new music by William Brittelle (USA), Tilman Robinson, Damien Ricketson, Jess Green, Dan Walker, Jessica O’Donoghue, Olivia Davies, Sam Weiss, and Marcus Whale.

A Sunburnt Christmas
December feels different down under. The air hums with cicadas and thunderstorms, gum leaves shimmer, the horizon wavers with heat. It is a season of long light, beach days and bush-fires alike, and of families gathered and scattered, of endings and new beginnings.
A Sunburnt Christmas brings together the shining of voices Luminescence Children’s Choir with pianist–composer Sally Whitwell, soprano Rachel Mink, and the Ellery String Quartet for a very-nearly-all-Aussie program about summertime, family, the fragile promise of new life, and the glowing heart of home. Forget snow and sleigh bells, A Sunburnt Christmas celebrates the festive season under Southern skies.

Red Dirt Hymns
A hymnal to the country under our feet.
A living songbook more than four years in the making, Andrew Ford’s hymnal brings together the words of sixteen contemporary Australian writers – poets, essayists, and folksingers. Born in a time of fire and darkness, grief, and loss, and then fragile, tender hope, Red Dirt Hymns are songs of awe and praise, dedicated not to a god, but to the land.
Red Dirt Hymns is performed by the ever-daring voices of Luminescence Chamber Singers alongside Luminescence Children’s Choir, Music for Canberra, and singers from the community as well as two rising stars: Harley Coleman (electric guitar), and category-defying cellist Freya Schack-Arnott. Songs that span art music, folk song, country ballad, and Aussie rock, unfold to the evocative imagery of Sammy Hawker, whose art is created within the fabric of country itself: saltwater, limestone and eucalypt.
From Ellen van Neerven’s dark clouds to John Kinsella’s abundant gardens, Red Dirt Hymns does what a hymnal is meant to do: it draws us closer – to each other, and to the light and shade of our wide brown land.

Garden of Earthly Delights
A garden teeming with temptation and desire, grotesque creatures and improbable scenes of surrender: the uninhibited world of Hieronymus Bosch’s 500-year-old triptych “De tuin der lusten”. Baffling his Dutch contemporaries and the casual tourists in Madrid’s Prado in equal measure (not to mention generations of art critics) Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights is ever-enigmatic. Whether it is interpreted as a paradise of indulgence or as a stark warning about moral decay during a time of rapid change, this art exudes dread and seduction in equal measure.
Trust Luminescence Chamber Singers to turn this surreal feast of the senses into an aural tapestry as pleasurable and perilous as Bosch’s vision. Drawn from the vaults of Renaissance raunch, and daring modern transgressions, Garden of Earthly Delights offers a vocal cornucopia of surprise and surreptitiously cheeky delight.
Program to include music by Hildegard von Bingen, Josquin des Prez, Philippe Verdelot, Gavin Bryars, as well as newly commissioned works by Nicole Murphy and Archie Tulk.
Audiences are advised that some works in this concert contain coarse/explicit language, sexual references and adult themes. This performance may not be suitable for children under 15 years.
