Surprised no one's mentioned Henry Cow yet! They were 50% female during their later years and had a female singer! I also recommend Uboa, Tricot, Ryoko Ono, Tenko Ueno, Domi, News From Babel, Oksana Linde, Risa Takeda and Paranoid Void, and if you're really desperate there's always that weirdo whose Bandcamp link is in my signature

Hi, So nice to hear this ... I call it the future of OUR classical music ... younger folks will likely be hearing this in various combinations and styles in 20/30 or 40 years ... absolutely lovely. It makes me appreciate the work by ELP even more, and how it was re-imagined by Rachel Flowers and now in somebody else's hands ... totally far out.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Regarding contemporary progressive music and female artists that have solo careers, I like Rosalie Cunningham the most. Her music is a sort of vaudevillian-carnival-psychedelic-prog that incorporates influences from the original British progressive rock movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s but also showcases her unique musical innovation and personality, resulting in a sound that pays homage to various styles while creating something entirely new and distinctive. Cunningham’s music is full of dreamy atmospheres, lush instrumentation, and introspective lyrics that delve into themes of introspection, mysticism, and personal growth. She has released two excellent studio albums so far, of which my favourite is her debut in 2019 due to her fantastic blend of progressive rock, psychedelia, and folk-rock influences. The album showcases Rosalie Cunningham’s versatile vocal range, intricate songwriting, and musical arrangements that draw inspiration from various genres. The songs on the album feature a mix of haunting melodies, ethereal vocals, and dynamic instrumentals that create a unique and captivating listening experience. |

Only 3 songs under her belt . A beautiful voice and a huge prog fan, (she introduced me to OSI, Faust, and more back in 2006) Ann Martin Bernath. No autotune, I wish she would sing more. https://youtu.be/BdNwIiU0_6k?si=15AqmJ9DW16Ay3R5

Before Ars Nova, Shingo "Numero" Ueno released an EP on Made In Japan by an all-girl sympho quintet called Rosalia (Zillion Tears, 1990).
The keyboardist was Naomi Miura, who temporarily joined Ars Nova for a few concerts in the late 1990s and early 2000s after the departure of original bassist Kyoko Kanazawa (Saito). It's closer to Deja Vu than Ars Nova, but it's perfectly listenable. |

I know many more, and a lot more that might be considered "adjacent". They might not be commercially successful, but the music is great and I (at least in the last handful of years) seek women because I prefer their voice. Curved Air Illusion Carol of Harvest Mellow Candle Yoshiko Sai Earth & Fire Savage Rose Empire (with Peter Banks) Catapilla Renaissance Comus Bran Cos Lily & Maria Fantasy (Florida band) Amon Duull Trees Sandrose Mother Superior (all-woman group) Babe Ruth Steeleye Span Pentangle Spyrogyra Hatfield and the North National Health Sandy and Jane Relf did a lot throughout their career. I'd listen to ALL their stuff.

I love their albums especially Preternatural. Looked online ansd lo and behold there is an event taking place in my home county of Cornwall on the 7 June. That said, it will still be a 1 and half hour drive , 3 hr round trip which is a bit too much. An hour each way would have been fine so unless I stay over it's not happening for me. |

More RPI I think rather than ELP but they did do the Keyboards Triangle album with Gerard and a very nice version of Tarkus. |

Avoiding female vocalists, of whom there are many, great harpist Zeena Parkins is on a good number of albums listed on PA by different bands/artists, like News From Babel and Björk.
Belarus's wonderful chamber prog Five-Storey Ensemble is about 50% female.

Arsnova I really like and I have their entire catalog on CD minus a live album ( I think?)
They are often compared to ELP..but when I listen to their early albums it comes across as instrumental Prog and so much ELP . The last few releases had new members and their style altered a bit with more guitar. Biogenesis Project is one of my favorites. |

I like Illusion, too (Out of the Mist is the better of the two, of course). |

Iseesha Bailey from Karda Estra
Amanda Parsons ( my favorite vocalist of all time) Curved Air...( box set) Tirill Mohn...excellent musician and writer Steeleye Span...reminded me of Jethro Tull at times...particularly Tull's more Folky period. Annie Haslam...I like Renaissance and I have everything on cd. The first 2 with Jane Relf and from Prologue to Azure |
