Stoller Hall spotlights celebrates female composers with special International Women’s Day show

This International Women’s Day, The Stoller Hall hosts a night of music dedicated to spotlighting and celebrating the work of female composers and performers.

Illuminate, which takes place on Sat 8 Mar, will feature both commissioned works from early-career women composers and historical pieces, all of which highlight the rich legacy of music written by women.

The Illuminate project was launched to promote the work of emerging women composers and performers, while also serving as a platform for historic catalogues. The initiative was set up by Dr Angela Elizabeth Slater in 2017, a freelance composer and a fierce advocate for the promotion of women’s music both past and present.

The Stoller Hall programme has been curated to demonstrate the massive strength and quality of output from composers living and working in Britain today, from all backgrounds and walks of life.

It also hopes to represent the thriving creativity happening in Britain despite struggles across the arts. The night will take the listeners on a diverse musical journey, ranging from the vivid and characterful voices of Lili Boulanger and Grazyna Bacewicz to the diverse soundworlds of new British composers, including Illuminate’s own Artistic Director, Angela Elizabeth Slater.
