LUMEN Festival: January 12-14, 2024
Brighten the dark winter days with EMV at the inaugural LUMEN Festival!
This mini winter festival presents three concerts in three days from January 12 to 14, 2024.
LUMEN explores the intersections between early music, contemporary works, jazz and improvisation. On January 12, renowned countertenor Reginald Mobley returns to Vancouver following his fabulous performance for EMV last season with The Luminous Hour, featuring the music of English Baroque master Henry Purcell alongside compositions by jazz greats Duke Ellington, and George Gershwin as well as a new commission by contemporary composer Edward Top for Chinese and Baroque instruments. A Prayer for Peace on January 13 stars Alexander Weimann in a breathtaking improvisation on the organ of West Vancouver United Church and cellist Elinor Frey closes LUMEN with a performance of Bach Cello Suites.
Generously sponsored by the RPC Family Foundation.
