Stella Musica aims to promote awareness of the contributions and accomplishments of outstanding women instrumentalists, composers, conductors and ensembles. The festival also serves to provide positive female role models and to support musicians in their professional development. The intent is to focus attention on women in music across all genres and to integrate their achievements into music history. On a larger scale, the festival seeks to generate greater interest among young people with regard to music produced by women of diverse nationalities and musical styles. The festival program includes concerts, networking events and educational activities. It also provides advanced educational opportunities in the form of lectures and master-classes.
