Artemisia Presents: Mothers (with special guests Canta Bella of Columbia Youth Choirs)
Step into the timeless, international and universal world of motherhood.
Steeped in joy, fear, humor, anger, determination and transcendent love, the stories and voices of mothers too often go unheard. In their third fully staged and immersive show, vocal trio Artemisia paints a portrait of motherhood through the songs of women from all over the world.
Hear a breathless Appalachian exaltation at the birth of a young daughter, a playful First Nations lullaby about a jumping prairie dog, a mournful Lithuanian graveside song from an orphaned daughter, an admonishing Yiddish dialogue from an exasperated mother to a love-stuck teenage daughter, and a world premiere commission from Chicagos own acclaimed female composer, Kate Pukinskis.
Artemisia is pleased to present this concert in conjunction with Canta Bella of Columbia Youth Choirs.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
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)
