Luminare features top musicians playing Christmas classics
The REPORTER
A new high-energy Christmas concert experience will help kick off the holiday season Dec. 3 at the Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel.
Described as “a powerful visual and musical journey,” Luminare performs original Christmas songs and reimagines the classics through dynamic staging and a blend of rock, pop, classical and folk music. The production is led by John Blasucci, longtime keyboardist for Dennis DeYoung of Styx and former lead keyboardist for Mannheim Steamroller.
The band, which launches its national tour at 8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 3 at the Palladium, is composed of world-class musicians whose international credits include Foreigner, Chicago, Camerata Strumetale Italiana, Orchestra Sinfonica del Conservatorio Giuseppe Tartini di Trieste, Rock of Ages, American Idol and The Voice. Luminare’s debut album, That Star, showcases their powerful sound on the original title track as well as Christmas favorites such as “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “What Child Is This,” “We Three Kings,” “Little Drummer Boy” and “Joy to the World.”
Tickets starting at $25 are on sale now at the Palladium Box Office, online at TheCenterPresents.org and by phone at (317) 843-3800. The Holiday Series event is part of the Center’s 2021-22 Center Presents Season sponsored by Allied Solutions.
