MISSION 15

The Winningstad Theatre | 1111 Southwest Broadway, Portland, OR 97205

In 2009, Resonance Ensemble began to build a formidable new force in Portland’s classical music scene: a fiercely talented choir that didn’t just want to sing; they were on a mission. Now, 15 years later, Resonance invites Portland audiences to join them in celebration. This performance features many of the extraordinary artists and partners important to Resonance’s story, sharing indelible new works that showcase the group’s unwavering commitment to mission-driven art. But that's not all! As part of this special evening, we will unveil Resonance Ensemble's 16th season, offering you an exclusive glimpse into what lies ahead.
