Mysterium
St. Paul's Church, Charlottetown
Saturday, December 16, 7:30pm
Summerside Presbyterian Church, Summerside
Sunday, December 17, 7:30pm
Join Luminos Ensemble for a candlelit meditation on Christmas, interweaving familiar carols with lesser-known historical and world-wide traditions, including sacred music from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, adaptations of carols by Indigenous composer Andrew Balfour, a melding of Indian and Western classical styles by Indian-American composer Reena Esmail, and a surround-sound performance of Franz Biebl’s beloved Ave Maria, all in addition to traditional favourites. Unique and serene, this is a concert to soothe the hurried soul.

Introducing...The Incredible Shrinking Orchestra
Sunday, February 4, 2:30pm
St. Paul's Church, Charlottetown
You’ve heard them collaborate with Luminos Ensemble, now come hear the brilliant musicians of Luminos Chamber Orchestra as they step out from behind the choir to show listeners just how mighty a small orchestra can be, performing music by Schubert, Copland, and more.

Earth Voices
Sunday, March 24, 2:30pm
St. Paul's Church, Charlottetown
Composer Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Mass for the Endangered has been described as a celebration of, and an elegy for, the natural world—animals, plants, insects, the planet itself—an appeal for greater awareness, urgency, and action. Luminos Chamber Orchestra joins the singers of Luminos Ensemble to present this powerful and uplifting work, along with an all-new work by LCO bassist Adam Hill.

Verdi: Requiem
Sunday, April 28, 2:30pm
Zion Presbyterian Church, Charlottetown
Verdi’s extraordinary and awe-inspiring Requiem combines the drama of opera, the thrill of wonderful symphonic writing, and stellar and virtuosic solo moments, with a deeply personal expression of grief. Although it sets the words of the Requiem mass, Verdi never intended this powerful music for church use, but as a public memorial to one of Italy’s cultural icons. Luminos Ensemble and Luminos Chamber Orchestra join forces with Island Choral Society, and soloists Georgia Edwards, Hannah O’Donnell, Justin Simard, and Brodie MacRae to present this spectacular, once-in-a-generation performance of one of the greatest works in the choral repertoire.
