Illuminate 2020!
We have a lot in store this year with two more touring concert seasons and Illuminate extra concerts as well! We are hugely proud and excited to continue supporting women composers from the past and present!
Our next Illuminate Extra concert is on 29th February at St Peter's Church Nottingham with pianist Jelena Makarova. Join us to enjoy a wonderful programme of piano music.
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.”

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.
