Glass Heart

  • Wollongong Art Gallery 46 Burelli Street Wollongong, NSW, 2500 Australia (map)

Luminescence Chamber Singers delve into 500 years of love songs and break-up anthems. From Monteverdi’s monumental “Sestina” and Marenzio’s sensuous “Baci Soavi e Cari”, to music by David Lang, Eric Whitacre, Drew Crawford, and more. Glass Heart explores the fragility of life and love, and the shattering pain of heartbreak.
