Old Airs

Overview

“Identity oversimplifies humans.
It denies the hybrid, as trees can't.
[…] Eons on, their concentric years
will be eloquent on suffering and old airs.” [Les Murray, Cool History]

As the legendary poet Les Murray reminded us, trees are the silent storytellers of human history. Amidst the relentless pursuit of modernity, their rings record deep time, carving stories of fire, flood, and slow growth. Join Luminescence Chamber Singers for a tapestry of old songs and stories. From ancient melodies to troubadour songs, timeless tunes, and lyrics that summon nostalgia, Luminescence breathes new life into old airs.
