A daffodil emerges from beneath the frost. A bird sings; a flower unfurls.

The first signs of spring are symbols of hope and promise, rebirth, and renewal. Of course, flowers and the motifs of spring are also reminders of life’s cycles. In the still life scenes of the Dutch masters, flowers denoted not only beauty, but decay and fragility; death, and loss. From Renaissance polyphony to contemporary classics, Luminescence Chamber Singers celebrate the happy season of spring, the blossoming flowers, the shifting tides, and reflect on transience, impermanence, the inexorable march of time, and climate crisis.

Featuring music by Marenzio, Robert Davidson, James Wade, as well as the premiere of a Leah Blankendaal’s “Lake”, and a new instalment of Andrew Ford’s “Red Dirt Hymns”.
