Violinist Audrey Wright, a member of the New York Philharmonic and concertmaster of the Baltimore Chamber Orchestra, together with artist Geoff Robertson, have created Luminous Being.

Luminous Being is a multi sensory performance for solo violin and sound responsive light art, interweaving classical repertoire spanning the 12th through 21st centuries with original music and arrangements by Wright for a magical, poetic, and playful exploration into the connections between sound, light, and technology. For the performance Wright adorns a bespoke garment of wearable light art created by artist Geoff Robertson, embodying a luminous being of colors, shapes, and sounds.

Through the distillation of elements of solo recital, art installation, and theatre into one unique and intimate space, there is a collective experience of being transported. To enhance this, the program is performed in low light and without pause. Luminous Being is ultimately about being fully present and awakening the senses through a journey from darkness into light.
