If you’re a singer with a lesbian feminist inclination, consider joining us! After completing more than 45 years as a chorus, we are committed to representing the lesbian feminist community across cultures, colors, gender expressions, and ages. The beauty of this ever-evolving chorus is that all voices matter. We each take part in choosing what and where Artemis sings, as we create powerful performances together.

We rehearse on Thursday nights from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. on the northwest side of Chicago. The rehearsal space is accessible by CTA train (Montrose Blue Line), Metra (Mayfair stop on the Milwaukee District North Line), CTA bus, or car (ample free parking on-site). Note that face masks are required for our indoor rehearsals, except for singers with hardship during mask-wearing. Please fill out the form using the link below if you are interested!

Our next annual new member opportunity will likely be in August of 2026.  Please complete the interest form linked below and we will contact you as more details are available.

As a lesbian feminist organization, Artemis Singers sings in solidarity with all LGBTQ+ people and allies. Artemis comprises feminist singers from diverse backgrounds who are dedicated to performing music written or arranged by women, working to effect positive change in cultural attitudes toward women and women artists, and increasing the visibility of lesbian feminists.

Membership is open to adult women, nonbinary, and trans singers, regardless of musical background. No audition is required, but all singers must be able to sing in the soprano/alto range, match pitch, and carry a tune.

Prospective new members are asked to attend a Zoom orientation and then visit and sit in on the first 2 rehearsals at the start of a new season. After the 2nd rehearsal, each new singer will meet with a director to do a pitch-matching exercise that will help us to place her/them in the appropriate part section. She/they will need to be able to match pitch and sing notes that fit within at least one of the part ranges that our music is written for–Soprano 1 to Alto 2.

Participation donations for singers are $20 per month or $200 per year; financial waivers are available if needed.

We also welcome non-singing members who want to contribute other skills to the chorus, such as fundraising, promotion, concert production, and graphic arts. Participation donations for non-singers are $10 per month or $100 per year; financial waivers are available if needed.
