Artemis Singers – Choral Couch-a-Thon

Are you a fan of Artemis Singers, Chicago’s Lesbian Feminist Chorus? You can join them for a short, simple, stay-at-home fundraiser April 19 at 6:00 pm CDT to benefit the chorus as they prepare for an exciting large-scale vocal arts conference and performance this summer.

What happens in the Couch-a-Thon?
It’s a livestream performance with participation! You can decide how active or reclusive you want to be. On Zoom, members of the chorus will perform some tunes, play games, and engage in hijinks (who’s got the cutest pet? most imaginative beverage?). You can buy a ticket here to take part in the Zoomcast and compete for fan prizes. Or, you can choose to watch the 1-hour fundraiser livestream on YouTube or Facebook for free (and optionally chip in a few bucks).

What’s the context?
Artemis is playing host this July to the 2026 Sister Singers Network Choral Festival. This every-four-years event brings together feminist choruses from across the US and beyond for performances, workshops, and joyous collaboration. The 3-day festival will feature individual performances by more than 20 choruses, culminating in two 400-voice mass choruses on stage.

Artemis is offsetting the costs for this exciting undertaking through registration fees, grants, sponsorships, donations, and a few fundraising events. The Choral Couch-a-Thon is one of these fundraising events, and you are invited to take part!

Artemis Singers is a 501(c)3 Not for Profit organization.
