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.

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

I was unaware of this. Thanks for sharing

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.

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.

Surprised no one's mentioned Henry Cow yet! They were 50% female during their later years and had a female singer!

Mmmhhh!!!!... I'm not sure how long Georgie, Dagmar & Lindsey were all three together in the band, but that was when the Vevey Concert was filmed

Only Lindsey remained for Western Culture in 79, though there was Annemarie

One of my favourite bass players is Mohini Dey from India. Her interview with Rick Beato was something to watch, or I should say her playing during that interview was something to behold.

Recent band Ebb are an excellent group of 5 women and 1 man. I saw them live at Nene Valley Rock Fest, and it seemed few people had heard of them; Even the organizer said they weren't performing at first, but someone else dropped out and they 'were the only band to actually complete the sign-up form.'

By the end of their performance, you could feel the impression that they had left on everyone.

They're yet to release anything studio based as far as I know, but they've got some live recordings on their youtube page that I'd recommend to anyone.
