Elbphilharmonie Talk with Renee Rosnes

The founder of Artemis, the first female jazz band, talks about how the group came into being, and women's role in the world of music.

Six fantastic lady soloists of the international jazz scene are currently causing a sensation in the band Artemis. What does it feel like to appear in concert as an all-female group in the male preserve of jazz? And how long will we still be asking this question? A few hours before their acclaimed concert in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall, Renee Rosnes, founder of Artemis, pianist and composer, gave a relaxed interview in our Elbphilharmonie Talk series.
