Luminescence Christmas
A Sunburnt Christmas
December feels different down under. The air hums with cicadas and thunderstorms, gum leaves shimmer, the horizon wavers with heat. It is a season of long light, beach days and bush-fires alike, and of families gathered and scattered, of endings and new beginnings.
A Sunburnt Christmas brings together the shining of voices Luminescence Children’s Choir with pianist–composer Sally Whitwell, soprano Rachel Mink, and the Ellery String Quartet for a very-nearly-all-Aussie program about summertime, family, the fragile promise of new life, and the glowing heart of home. Forget snow and sleigh bells, A Sunburnt Christmas celebrates the festive season under Southern skies.
