June 27 – July 1, 2018   Sister Singers Network Choral Festival,
“More than Music Here”

We traveled to Grand Rapids, Michigan for the 12th Sister Singers Network Choral Festival. Artemis Singers was one of 20 choruses from around the country at this wonderful event hosted by the Grand Rapids Women’s Chorus. We performed our set on Friday night and then joined one of the two Mass Choruses Saturday night to perform 4 pieces. It’s an incredible experience to perform for almost 600 women from other choruses, and to hear all of their creative, moving, funny, and breathtaking performances.

These choral festivals are held every four years. Artemis hosted in the 1980’s and then again in 2010.  Hmm, maybe you would like to take part in a festival like this. Join Artemis now and you can be a part of it all in 2022!

More Than Music – Pride Concert & Dance

Artemis Singers is about more than music.

We sing music written or arranged by women. That is what we do. We work to effect positive change in cultural attitudes toward women and women artists, as well as to increase the visibility of lesbian feminists. In doing that, we explore the roots of who we are as women, as lesbians, as feminists. That in turn often leads us to themes of peace, community building, and social justice. This concert features those important themes and includes a reading by guest poet, e nina jay, author of Body of Rooms.

And then we’ll dance!! With DJ OCD at the mixer.
