Elder Conservatorium: Elder After Hours – Lumen Gala
5 November 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm AEDT

Our Lumen Gala ignites the stage with a program that celebrates the brilliance and boundless possibilities of chamber music. Guillaume Connesson’s electrifying Techno Parade launches the evening with pulsating energy and modern flair. Claude Debussy’s iconic Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, presented in a shimmering arrangement by Graeme Steele Johnson, casts an irresistible spell of dreamlike beauty. Ian Munro’s Schubertiades bridges past and present, offering a heartfelt homage to Franz Schubert’s spirit of intimate gatherings and poetic inspiration. The gala culminates with Schubert’s majestic Octet in F major, D. 803 – a masterpiece of expressive depth, Viennese elegance, and radiant lyricism that crowns this luminous celebration of music.
