Christmas Carols Through the Ages

Lumina Vocal Ensemble is an Adelaide-based choir with an international following. The group specialises in discovering and performing music that is rarely heard, especially medieval music, music by women composers, Australian artists and music from around the world. This Christmas, Lumina will take State Library visitors on an international journey through 700 years of Christmas carols, including carols from Mediaeval England and Prague, Renaissance Spain and Germany, then on to traditional favourites and Australian contemporary Christmas songs. Audience members will be invited to join Lumina in singing some well-known carols towards the end of the program.
