 In Autumn 2021 Illuminate 2021 Season I and II returned to live concerts!

In autumn 2021 Illuminate Women's Music is presented two seasons of concerts and composers. These concerts were rearranged from our original 2020 plans and we were delighted to finally present a series of concerts with performers in residence Naomi Sullivan & Kumi Matsuo (Season I saxophone and piano), and Rachel Fryer & Ivana Peranic (Season II cello and piano) presenting works by Season I and II composers: Angela Elizabeth Slater, Blair Boyd, Sarah Westwood, Lara Poe, Nina Danon, Rachael Gibson, Carmen Ho, Michele Abandono, Chloe Knibbs, and Hayley Jenkins.

Illuminate 2019 reviews

‘If Illuminate returns you should go and hear for yourself’


Richard Bratby, Spectator

The Illuminate string quartet made a splendid debut, joined by a solo soprano in a programme that featured not one, not two, but six world premieres by women composers alongside music by neglected predecessors. This important project is proving what many - yet too few, still, in the wider musical world - know already: that women have always composed music of exceptional quality, and that increasing numbers are doing so today.”

​
 Steph Power, composer, writer, critic

We need your support!

Below you can support current and future Illuminate seasons and activities. We need your support to continue the work we do in shining a light on the work of women composers from both the past in present. Illuminate Women's Music is voluntary led by our composers in residence and we need your help and support in continuing this wonderful and vital work. ​
