Ilumina shines a light of opportunity for talented young people from diverse backgrounds and creates boundary-breaking music fueled by a radiant spirit of community and inclusion.
We open doors to top-level leadership opportunity for talented young musicians from under-served communities in Latin America, build bridges for democratic access to quality information, education and dialogue in urban and rural peripheries, and inspire on stages around the world with a creative vision empowered by diversity and the freshness of cultural exchange.
Ilumina is a verb.

Education & Community
Ilumina’s musical identity is born from community and equity. Our educational residencies, workshops, and social impact projects inspire dialogue, deep listening and holistic connection between the arts and the natural world, in schools, universities, and communities both urban and rural.
An inclusive vision for leadership
Ilumina believes talent doesn’t choose where its born, and that systemic lack of investment in talent and leadership development hurts both communities and the wider world. We’re working to develop opportunity equity and representation in leadership for extraordinary talent from underserved communities. The stories are life-changing.
