Meet a Resonance Singer: Cecily Kiester
“I’m really grateful to be part of Resonance Ensemble and their continued efforts to lift us up and help us to see the beauty in the world. ”
We asked Resonance singers who were featured in the "Under the Overpass" video series to share about their experience as an artist during these times, and what it was like to sing together after so much time apart.
Thank you to Cecily Kiester for contributing to this video.
► About "Under the Overpass"
This series of videos celebrates Resonance’s hometown of Portland, Oregon, and the space it provides for Resonance artists to continue to create despite the pandemic. Masked, imperfect, together. Starting in the summer of 2020, singers and spoken word artists met in acoustic spaces around the city - six feet apart, masked, and yet together. Viewers will experience music performed in these gritty, hauntingly beautiful spaces.
In collaboration with Oh! Creative and Portland filmmaker Kenton Waltz, the series features Resonance singers and other local artists and musicians all captured under Portland's famous bridges. All five films will be available to view for free here on our YouTube channel, and also on our website and Facebook page.
