This winter and spring Illuminate is returning to its touring seasons. We have the wonderful Trio Sonorité, consisting of pianist Jelena Makarova, cellist Daryl Giuliano and clarinettist Neyire Ashworth, as Illuminate’s performers in residence. They will be performing an array of works by women from the past and present including works by Louise Farrenc, Errollyn Wallen and Clara Schumann. We’re also delighted that our programmes will also include four new Illuminate commissions from composers Sylvia Lim, Kristina Arakelyan, Vinthya Perinpanathan, and composer in residence Angela Elizabeth Slater.

Our season is made up of five concerts, touring around the UK between February to May and visiting London, Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester, and Southwell. We hope you will join us to celebrate the creativity of women both as composers and performers!

Illuminate is very grateful to its funders, the Vaughan Williams Foundation, Hinrichsen Foundation and Marcus Trust. Their support has made the commissions and upcoming concerts all possible!
