Queenstown pianist, composer and singer Billie Carey (pictured) and Dunedin operatically-trained solo artist Calla Knudson will perform during this year’s Luma lights event, being held over King’s Birthday Weekend.

They’re part of the Luma Emerging Artist Programme which, this year, is focusing on musical talent.

Luma musical director Mike Hodgson says that’s testament to how the performance side’s grown over the years, and giving musos a chance to perform their work in Queenstown Gardens ‘‘adds another dimension to the experience for everyone’’.
