"The Luminescence concert last night at All Saints church in Ainslie was simply amazing. It’s a world-class ensemble."

"The work builds in power to the finale, with the muffled drum, and the truncated chorales of bells creating the effect of a child’s life ebbing away...deeply affecting. It brought to mind the little boy on a Turkish beach in 2015. The venue - walls and vaults that have witnessed much loss, seemed to enhance the effect. Quite a profound experience."
