ILLUMINATE | music of stars and light

The ancient themes of light and stars have fascinated composers and poets for many centuries. In this programme we explore their physical and transcendental properties.

'The dark night clouds are starlit
As though to mock the moon
That arises at each twilight
To take the mantle from the sun
All united in an assignment
To light the dark auditorium below' (Brian Odongo)
