ARTEMISIA
Chicago-based vocal trio Artemisia (Diana Lawrence, Alexandra Olsavsky, Kaitlin Foley) harnesses the power of the female voice to explore complex social issues through the vocal traditions of the world.

Praised for sincerity, wit, and mind-blowing technique (Vocal Arts Chicago), Artemisia brings diversity and accessibility to their programming. Not your typical stand-and-sing ensemble, Artemisia draws from a vast repertoire of vocal styes to take audiences on a journey of sound and spirit with every performance.

In addition to performing, Artemisia works with community and youth ensembles to advocate for a culturally literate and socially aware approach to singing. (More at: artemisiatrio.com)
