LV Car Choir #2

Calgary’s professional chamber choir Luminous Voices is planning a festive weekend of Christmas music with Covid-safe performances around the city, culminating in their second Car Choir on Sunday, December 6.

Luminous Voices uses a very simple and small FM transmitter to enable a controlled, safe, and physically distant ensemble concert to provide a live choral experience - in the safety of your own vehicle. The members of Luminous Voices sing on a mic protected by the bubble of their own car, and an audience can drive up and enjoy the mini-concert broadcast directly into their car through an unused FM signal. It is the same technology that a drive-in movie uses to broadcast sound. Some places of worship also use this somewhat older technology for the hearing impaired.

LV Car Choir #2 will take place  Sunday, December 6, 2020, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM and will be hosted in Parking Lot C of the Max Bell Arena. The audience will be able to hear the transmission from within 100-200+ meters. 

Tickets are $25 per vehicle and are available online from www.luminousvoices.ca. Upon arrival, the audience will choose a parking spot, tune into the designated FM signal on their car radio, and enjoy the concert broadcast from the comfort of their own car. Bring coffee and favourite car snacks to enjoy this event!

The choir is collaborating with recording engineer Caleb Nelson of Edmonton's Silver Studios again, after a successful first Car Choir on October 4. YouTube video is available to see what he created of this concert at https://youtu.be/yjL5TjO_Hhs. 

You can also hear Luminous Voices spreading Christmas Cheer Cheer beginning at the Heritage Park Market Night on Friday, December 4, from 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM in Lot B. Stroll through the market and be serenaded by Luminous Voices as it’ll be broadcast into the plaza. And on Saturday, December 5 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Luminous Voices will be adding to the festive atmosphere in a garden of lights at Zoolights.
