COMMISSION STORIES | ABOUT
Read, listen, and experience stories from our commissioned artists—the voices of today
Our end of year theme is Championing the Music of Tomorrow by Supporting the Voices of Today. This month we unveiled “Commission Stories,” a vital archive of our unwavering commitment to mission-based art and the exceptional composers who have contributed to its legacy.
Each work that Resonance commissions is more than just a new piece. It’s a relationship with an artist. It’s a journey for our ensemble. It’s a deep and lasting impact on our community. Every commission has a history all its own, and we invite you to explore them in our new gallery—15 years in the making.
COMMISSION STORY HIGHLIGHT | CECILLE ELLIOTT
This week, we highlight the incredible composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Cecille Elliott, whose work We Are Murmurs was commissioned this past spring for Volume 3 of our Dirty, Stupid Music series—and will be reprised in 2024 at both our Sweet Honey in the Rock and MISSION 15 shows!
Watch this video to hear We are Murmurs and learn more about how this commission came to be.
