Ilumina highlights Latin American talent and transforms classical music

The project connects emerging and established musicians, offering a collaborative and inclusive environment

Ilumina, a project dedicated to discovering and developing Latin American talent, is gearing up for 2024 with performances in Amsterdam, Edinburgh and Kronberg. Founded in 2015 by violist Jennifer Stumm, Ilumina has stood out by combining artistic development with social inclusion, including for the LGBT+ population, providing formative experiences and innovative shows.

Jennifer Stumm, an award-winning violist, conceived Ilumina as a festival that has evolved into an artistic and educational movement. The project connects emerging and established musicians, providing a collaborative and inclusive environment. Stumm emphasizes the importance of social equality and the transformative impact that Ilumina has on the lives and careers of the young musicians involved.

On stage, Ilumina surprises the audience
Ilumina invests deeply in young talent, aiming for artistic sustainability and promoting inclusion and excellence. The project acts as a platform where musicians can challenge conventions and explore new perspectives. In August and September, it will visit Amsterdam, Edinburgh and Kronberg.

“Ilumina was born as a creative community, shining a light on talent, no matter where it comes from, and creating brilliant new experiences on stage together. It feels entirely right that, almost ten years later, we continue to move and grow as a community and will now radiate the power of this creative force on stages around the world,” explains Stumm.

The Ilumina Festival, held annually in January, brings together young Latin American musicians and professional soloists at a historic farm in the countryside of São Paulo. Under Stumm’s creative direction, the artists perform in a variety of locations, including mountains and the Sala São Paulo. During the festival, the young musicians collaborate intensively with the professionals, accumulating between 70 and 80 hours of joint practice.

On stage, Ilumina surprises the audience with innovative approaches that transform various musical genres. The concert “Na luz da sombra”, a highlight of the 2024 European tour, combines works by Baden-Powell, Beethoven, Lully, Mozart and Villa-Lobos with choreography, lighting and improvisations on Brazilian percussion instruments.
