Luminescence Chamber Singers offer a modern vocal cornucopia that captures the delight, desire, and dread of Hieronymus Bosch’s surreal 1515 vision.
From grotesque creatures to improbable scenes of surrender: the uninhibited world of Hieronymus Bosch’s 500-year-old triptych “De tuin der lusten”, the Garden of Earthly Delights.
Whether it is interpreted as a paradise of indulgence or as a stark warning about the moral decay during a time of rapid change, this ever-enigmatic work 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 alongside daring modern transgressions, Garden of Earthly Delights offers a vocal cornucopia of surprise and surreptitiously cheeky delight.
Program to include new music by Nicole Murphy and Archie Tulk, alongside work by works by Orlande de Lassus, Frank Nyuts, Gavin Bryars, and more.
