A Musical Laboratory

The Ilumina Festival began in 2015 as a musical and social experiment on a farm in the mountains of the São Paulo countryside, when Jennifer Stumm brought together a small group of musicians to play three concerts in a magical blue church. The idea was that uniting super-talented young musicians from diverse backgrounds together with leading artists to live, eat, work and perform side-by-side would accelerate understanding, opportunity, and creativity for all participants, and hopefully make waves for equity and inclusion in the wider world of classical music. Since then, the festival has rocketed to prominence as an example of what an artist-led project can achieve, with a staggering percentage of young musicians going on to study at leading institutions around the world, and a family of international artists investing deeply in making sure the next generation gets a fair chance. An audience of thousands, for whom festival concerts are often their only access to live music, returns year after year.

The Music of Sustainability: Ilumina and FAF Coffee

The Ilumina Festival’s working home is the beautiful Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza in the interior of São Paulo state—a world leader in sustainable organic coffee and agriculture, where music and nature blend seamlessly in the Atlantic rain forest, surrounded by birdsong, jaguars and 1000 year old trees. Our hosts, Silvia Barretto and Marcos Croce, have developed the Fazenda as a modern model for building holistic and sustainable relationships with the natural world, with the community and with the quality products it produces—a beautiful mirror to the work on Ilumina. Many Ilumina young artists grow up exclusively in urban peripheries of large cities and have not had deep experience with the natural world or with quality food. FAF’s “Total Quality” mission encourages making healthy connections between all aspects of life. During the festival, quality music can be heard day and night from every corner of the farm, just as the farm nourishes the creativity and social inspiration of every artist. Sustainability, the way of working with the environment’s own elegant solutions and rhythms, are the foundation of Ilumina’s practices, in music and in working for social good.
