Artemis Singers Spring Concert and Festival Preview

Power In Harmony

Saturday, May 2, 2026, 7:00 pm
First Congregational Church of Evanston
1455 Hinman Ave, Evanston IL

Artemis Singers, Chicago’s Lesbian Feminist Chorus, presents a concert that celebrates strength through connection. Power in Harmony explores the idea that true harmony is not the absence of difference, but the intentional blending of diverse voices and perspectives. Dissonance, when heard and recognized, can result in stronger resolutions and lead to greater unity within a community. 

Performing works written or arranged by women, including several Chicago-based composers and arrangers, this concert will feature pieces about social justice, equal rights, finding common ground, and creating change together. Artemis Singers seeks to share with their audience the bold harmonies that reflect both the music and the resilient lesbian feminist community that inspires it.

This concert is a preview of the set that Artemis Singers will perform when we host the 2026 Sister Singers Network Choral Festival this July. The 3-day festival will feature performances by more than 20 choruses from around the country, culminating in two 400-voice mass choruses on stage.

As we have been saying, Artemis Singers is hosting the Sister Singers Network Choral Festival this July, welcoming over 800 singers from more than 21 feminist choruses around the country! Because we expect to be very busy over the next few months, we won’t be performing a June Pride concert*, but we want to give you a preview of what we will be performing for our concert set in July.

The theme for the festival is Power in Harmony, and you can be among the first to hear our set plus the Mass Chorus pieces that will form the final concert performance block on Saturday, July 11. Mark your calendar for:

Tickets will be available in late March or April.

*Oh, and of course we still feel LGBTQI+ Pride, just not manifesting as a concert in June.
