CHOIR GRRRL

ABOUT THE CONCERT

This one-night-only performance brings together Resonance’s treble singers and three trailblazing artists for an interactive, boundary-pushing program that celebrates the power of women in music. Resonance is joined by Ringdown–a duo comprising Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw and multi-instrumentalist Danni Lee—and composer/performer Cecille Elliott who will premiere her latest commissioned work with Resonance.

Ringdown, an “electronic cinematic pop duo” featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw and the “dynamite” multi-instrumentalist Danni Lee, will perform their works alongside newly expanded arrangements. Lee was recently described by Oregon ArtsWatch as “a perfect complement to Shaw” and they are “a definite ‘peanut butter and chocolate’ situation.” Together, they bring a recently Grammy-nominated blend of artistry, innovation, and collaboration to the stage, creating an unforgettable musical experience that invites the audience into new sonic landscapes.

Also featured on the concert, Cecille Elliott, whose We Are Murmurs captivated audiences at its 2023 Resonance premiere, will debut her latest creation, It’s So Quiet, as both vocalist and composer. A versatile musician specializing in voice, violin, and viola, Cecille has performed with Resonance since 2020. She will be joining the concert directly from a world tour with Lyyra, an elite 6-voice women’s ensemble with the VOCES8 Foundation, where she serves as low alto.
