About

Founded by soprano Lauren Cook and pianist Aleksandra Lvin, the Artemis Chamber Music Society strives to revitalize the art of the song recital while presenting exciting and creative chamber music programs utilizing our core voice/piano duo and exciting guest instrumentalists. We love performing in alternative and intimate venues, as well as more traditional recital settings.

Other performers include:
Kai Ching-Chang, piano
Julia Okrusko, violin
Pamela Ambrose, cello

and others, depending on our programming!
