The Luminescence Chamber Singers have two festive programs this December. The first, Christmas Classics, ranges from medieval carols, through Mouton, Sweelinck, Bach and Britten, to Yuletide favourites like Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

The second, A Sunburnt Christmas, offers more of a Down Under perspective on seasonal music. Bringing together Luminescence Children’s Choir, pianist-composer Sally Whitwell, soprano Rachel Mink and the Ellery String Quartet, this very nearly-all-Aussie program celebrates summertime, family, the promise of new life, beach days and long summer nights. The music includes works by Ross Edwards, Andrew Ford and Elena Kats-Chernin among others.
