A woman half-hidden in shadow. A single beam of light falls from above and illuminates one eye. A dramatic black-and-white photograph against a warm sepia wall.

A note from the founders

"For centuries, women have been written out of music history. This festival exists to shift that perspective — because this music deserves to be heard, on its own artistic merit."
