About this event

Luminescence Chamber Singers is a professional vocal ensemble based on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country (Canberra, ACT). Led by mezzo soprano AJ America, Luminescence has emerged as one of Australia’s most exciting professional ensembles, championing the unbound expressive potential of the original instrument: the human voice.

Luminescence Chamber Singers have built an enviable reputation as a uniquely virtuosic ensemble, performing repertoire that spans renaissance polyphony, medieval music, contemporary art music, pop, and folk, and increasingly working across both amplified and unamplified forms. Recent highlights include sold-out performances at the National Museum of Australia (2024), Melbourne Recital Centre (2024), and Sydney Opera House (2023), and debut appearances in Hobart and Adelaide, including at The Festival of Voices (2024) and at ACO’s The Neilson (Pier 2/3).

More than 400 years after its composition, the music of Carlo Gesualdo still seems strikingly avant-garde. The first set of Responsories for Maundy Thursday (Feria V) evoke Christ’s abandonment, betrayal, and death. Trust Luminescence to lead you into a world of musical shadows – deep personal grief alongside the universal sorrow of Christ’s suffering.
