Sydney Opera House presents LUMINOUS – a festival of music, ideas, light and performance. Curated by Brian Eno, this inaugural year features a plethora of music acts, alongside public talks and spectacular light and art installations. LUMINOUS is presented in partnership with Sony as part of Vivid Sydney.

Almost everyone has encountered the work of Brian Eno: as inventor of 'ambient' music; as record producer for U2, Coldplay and Talking Heads; and as an acclaimed visual artist. He is an innovator, an architect of new ideas, a father to new ways of thinking.

“I feel very honoured to have been invited to curate this festival. The brief I was given by Sydney Opera House can loosely be read as ‘you suggest it, and we’ll organize it’, which is about as generous and as trusting as one could ever dream of.” Brian Eno
