Concert stream available until 1 June 2022.
The world has had to wait far too long for the first all-female jazz supergroup, but it’s now finally here: Artemis. Named after the Greek goddess of hunting and childbirth, the band was formed in 2017 around the amazing Renee Rosnes. »I chose musicians I regarded highly and with whom I wanted to make music«, says the pianist. »And after we had performed together, I realised we had a unique chemistry.« Featuring piano, trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, bass and rhythm section, the New York group brings together six first-class instrumentalists, each of whom is also highly influential in the American jazz world as band leaders and composers. In February 2022, Artemis is making their Elbphilharmonie debut: great grooves are guaranteed – »a kick-off that’s not to be missed!« exclaimed one critic in a review of the fantastic all-star band’s first album.
