DOWNLOAD The Sponsorship Packet
Resonance Ensemble believes that art has the power to change the world.
We go beyond conversation, exploring what it means to amplify personal stories, inspire community connections, and galvanize action. Your support is more than financial; it endorses elevating underrepresented voices, ensuring Black artists—and all people of color—take center stage.
EMBRACE THE CALL TO ACTION
Led by Resonance board member A. Mimi Sei, Resonance is reaching out to donors who support Black Excellence in the Arts and inviting them to sponsor these events in the name of Resonance Donors for Black Artistry. You may choose whether you would like to be named as part of this coalition or remain anonymous.
BE A CATALYST FOR CHANGE
Our goal is to raise $40,000 from a coalition of supporters so that we can offer $10,000 lead sponsorship for each of these four extraordinary concerts. Each concert will then be promoted as Sponsored by Resonance Donors for Black Artistry.
CHAMPION BLACK EXCELLENCE IN THE ARTS
Additional gifts beyond our $40,000 goal will underwrite future commissions by Black composers amplifying Black experiences. Commissioned works will state on their score “Commissioned by Resonance Ensemble with support by Resonance Donors for Black Artistry.”
