Antigone Rising

In more than 20 years as one of America’s hardest-working bands, Antigone Rising has established a far-reaching reputation for sticking to their instincts. While the all-female New York natives live performances have earned the long-term devotion of fans, Antigone Rising’s passionate social conscience continues to manifest itself in the group’s tireless activism.

In 2014, the band launched the ambitious nonprofit organization Girls Rising, whose live presentations reflect the same passionate belief that drives the trio’s music. Throughout the year, Girls Rising partners with local school districts and youth centers to create programming that’s designed to inspire and empower young girls and LGBTQ youth through live performances, presentations, and workshops.
