Illumina, to give light.
Darkness is a weary fog that beckons sleep. It leaves you wanting memories of laughter, dance and song. But as gentle night passes, we wake to the morning hush of quiet birds, soft sunlight and the fires of life.
Illumina is an immersive experience of radiance, music and light. Reflecting upon a year of darkness and adversity, Concordis draws upon stunning traditional, contemporary and spiritual compositions to bring fire and luminosity to a brand new choral experience. Join us as we step into the light with ringing voices and bounding hearts.
