For the past 16 years, Resonance Ensemble has brought exceptional, meaningful music to Portland’s artistic scene, reflecting on the most pressing social issues of our times. This season promises to be no exception. From confronting hard truths and honoring beloved composer collectives, to featuring some of today’s most brilliant musicmakers—including Pulitzer Prize-winning composer CAROLINE SHAW and commissioned new works from CECILLE ELLIOTT, DAVE RAGLAND, and KENJI BUNCH—our season is packed with impact.
Don’t miss a single note of it.
