The Weis Center for the Performing Arts will welcome Jazz supergroup Artemis on Friday, March 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Weis Center, just days after their Carnegie Hall appearance.
There will be a pre-performance interview from 6:45-7:15 p.m. in the Weis Center Atrium with Allison Miller facilitated by Peg Cronin.
The performance is sponsored, in part, by Karl Voss and Chanin Wendling and family.
This performance is part of the Weis Center’s year-long Trees Series.
Founded by pianist and composer Renee Rosnes in 2017, ARTEMIS—named for the Greek goddess—is a multinational, multigenerational ensemble of jazz instrumental virtuosos. Its current lineup includes pianist Renee Rosnes, trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, tenor saxophonist Nicole Glover, bassist Noriko Ueda, and drummer Allison Miller.
Each member is an accomplished bandleader with a major career and a prolific body of work. The group’s third release for Blue Note Records, Arboresque, features original compositions by all members as well as arrangements of pieces by Wayne Shorter, Burt Bacharach and Donald Brown. The recording was named one of The Guardian’s Top Ten Jazz Albums of 2025, praised for its “cliché-free individuality and congenial collective spirit radiantly combined.”
Following a powerful appearance in May 2025 on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series, the band’s popularity has continued to grow through performances at major festivals and venues worldwide. NPR hailed ARTEMIS as “a killer line-up of players, composers and performers…who converge on an extremely cosmopolitan, sleek, rhythm-forward, modern sound.”
ARTEMIS has been voted Jazz Group of the Year for three consecutive years by DownBeat magazine’s Annual Readers Poll (2023–2025) and was awarded Mid-Size Ensemble of the Year in both 2024 and 2025 by the Jazz Journalists Association.
