If there’s any time we need a bit of glimmering light projections in our life, it’s slap bang in the middle of winter when we’re still fending off the early sunsets. You’ve probably enjoyed many an enchanting show in the city, but you won’t ever have clapped eyes with streams of light hitting the interiors of Sir Christopher Wren’s masterpiece.
Until now, that is, with Luminous delivering a tour de force of dazzling light and sound to St Paul’s Cathedral; promising to surround visitors with waves of colour as they gaze towards the ceiling of the historic landmark.
‘Luminous’ at St Paul’s Cathedral
Taking place across one week on the evenings of February 22-28attendees can prepare to see the architectural wonder in an entirely new light; and one that no one has yet experienced. Luxmaralis is an artistic collaboration between the sculptor Peter Walker and composer David Harper that has toured other buildings including the Tower of London. Through Luminous, visitors will be able to see the latest venture that is bespoke to St Paul’s, drawing from the landmark’s prestige and character.
Inspired by the rich history of St Paul’s CathedralLuminous is dipping deep into the past to create an immersive event that is perfect for all ages to lose themselves in this winter. A perfect blend of art and sound in a harmonious, historic setting – what more could you ask for? Wren’s stunning interiors alone makes a trip to St Paul’s worthwhile, but you’ll have a limited chance to see it in a way you never have before when the Luminous show arrives next month.
Anyone heading to the Luminous light show will also be glad to know that they’ll give money towards a fundraising event, with all proceeds going towards supporting the ongoing sustainability of St Paul’s Cathedral to preserve the heritage of the location.
‘Luminous’ by Luxmuralis runs between February 22-28, with each show taking place in the evening. Attendees are warned that there may be flashing lights and loud noises throughout the show.
