Ilumina Festival

The Ilumina Festival is an annual chamber music festival held in Brazil.

The festival combines the objective of producing high-end classical music with a deep-rooted social mission. Professional soloists from multiple nationalities converge in a secluded venue in rural Brazil, where they commune and collaborate with a selected group of outstanding young local talents at the start of their professional careers.

Through a series of rehearsals, workshops, and masterclasses, all musicians prepare, together, for a set of concerts, open to the public and free of charge, aimed at bringing chamber music to audiences that would have otherwise limited access to it. Both soloists and fellows feed off each other’s input, and the experience provides a sizeable professional boost for alumni’s careers.

The festival operates on a non-profit basis and relies on donors, sponsors and supporters for financial viability.
