Luminox

A magical musical world

Luminox will be a transformational event that will bring together art, music and spectacle in one of Oxfordshire’s most historic places. It is one of the key events to launch the 2007 celebrations that mark one thousand years of Oxfordshire.


For three hours each night Broad Street will be turned into a transcendent environment by the light of a thousand flickering fires, created by renowned French art group Carabosse in collaboration with Oxford-based artist Ted Dewan. The street will become an atmospheric piazza for public promenade and relaxation allowing you to experience the city centre in a unique way.


In the middle of the street will be a band-stand which will host a live music programme curated by OCM to create an evocative sound world in which to enjoy Luminox. The music ranges from graceful folk tunes to string quartets, from Japanese flute music to gentle electronica. Artists include Spiro, Daniel Weaver, Clive Bell with Melissa Holding, Jali Fily Cissokho, Mary Hampton, The Téa Hodzic Trio, The Elysian Quartet, Sleeps in Oysters and Emily Burridge with BJ Cole.


Luminox is supported by Arts Council England, South East, BMW Group Plant Oxford, Malmaison, Oxford, Lucy Properties, The Big Bang, Modern Art Oxford, Oxford City Council and Oxfordshire County Council.
