Pictures at an exHERbition is a song cycle composed by Sally Whitwell inspired by the works of Australian women artists. In the spirit of the Gallery’s Know My Name Initiative, Pictures at an exHERbition is a creative redress and a rebalancing of the history books through song.
Performed by Luminescence Chamber Singers and Luminescence Children’s Choir with the composer herself at the piano, the concert celebrates the depth and breadth of work by Australian women artists.
This performance features the world premiere of several newly commissioned songs in response to works by Australian women artists in the National Gallery collection.
Pictures at an exHERbition is presented in partnership with Luminescence Chamber Singers.

Performing music from all times and places, Luminescence champions the unbound expressive potential of our original instrument - the human voice.
