There’s always a lot happening at Resonance Ensemble! If you’re new to Resonance Ensemble or our work, we encourage you to explore our past projects, read more about how your gift can make big changes in our community, and how you can help champion the music of tomorrow by supporting the voices of today.
Champion the music of tomorrow by supporting the voices of today! The Dinah Dodds Fund for the Creation of New Art supports the commissioning, performance, and recording of brand new works.
Become an ally in our mission to honor Black Excellence in the Arts - every day of the year. This fund supports Black artists across a wide variety of disciplines, including composing, performance, and filmmaking.
