For Season II 2019 Illuminate Women's Music worked with the newly formed Illuminate String Quartet with Soprano Patricia Auchterlonie
For Season II 2019, Illuminate Women's Music is delighted to have worked with the newly formed Illuminate String Quartet, who have performed across the UK with soprano singer Patricia Auchterlonie!
In Season II, Illuminate Women's Music commissioned new works by six women composers. The composers were Caroline Bordignon, Soul Zisso, Joanna Ward and the Illuminate composers in residence Angela Elizabeth Slater, Sarah Westwood and Blair Boyd. The composers collaborated with the performers of the newly formed Illuminate String Quartet and soprano singer Patricia Auchterlonie. The Illuminate String Quartet members were Clarice Rarity (violin), Christine Cornwall (violin), Katherine Clarke (viola) and Cecilia Bignall (cello).These new works were programmed alongside a wealth of historical works by composers such as Rebecca Clarke, Barbara Strozzi, and Ruth Crawford Seeger giving a rich context to the strong but neglected tradition of women’s music, and rightly bringing these works as well as new ones to the attention of new audiences across the UK.
Illuminate Women's Music 2019 seasons II was supported by Ambache Charitable Trust, RVW Trust and Arts Council England. It also received support and sponsorship from Ulysses Network, Snape Maltings and ISM.
