Luminescence Chamber Singers: Garden of Earthly Delights

The Luminescence Chamber Singers make a bold return this October with their second concert program of 2025: Garden of Earthly Delights.
A garden teeming with temptation and desire, grotesque creatures and improbable scenes of surrender: the uninhibited world of Hieronymus Bosch’s 500-year-old triptych “De tuin der lusten”. Baffling his Dutch contemporaries and the casual tourists in Madrid’s Prado in equal measure (not to mention generations of art critics) Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights is ever-enigmatic. Whether it is interpreted as a paradise of indulgence or as a stark warning about moral decay during a time of rapid change, this art exudes dread and seduction in equal measure.
Trust Luminescence Chamber Singers to turn this surreal feast of the senses into an aural tapestry as pleasurable and perilous as Bosch’s vision. Drawn from the vaults of Renaissance raunch, and daring modern transgressions, Garden of Earthly Delights offers a vocal cornucopia of surprise and surreptitiously cheeky delight.
Program to include music by Hildegard von Bingen, Josquin des Prez, Philippe Verdelot, Gavin Bryars, as well as newly commissioned works by Nicole Murphy and Archie Tulk.
1 hour no interval, conducted by Roland Peelman AM
