Particles of Light

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

Light, as every photographer and physicist knows, is elusive. 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.

Presented alongside the Wollongong Conservatorium, this unique event brings together three outstanding groups for a day of shared workshops and rehearsals, culminating in an evening performance that showcases both individual artistry and ensemble unity.
