A Letter from Artistic Director, Kathy FitzGibbon

Creating innovative ways to make music safely, foster community, and share powerful stories. 

Dear friends of Resonance Ensemble:
 
As we say goodbye to 2021, we see signs of hope for the world we have been re-imagining. With vaccination and mask requirements in place for our singers and audiences, the Resonance team continues to create innovative ways to make music safely, foster community, and share powerful stories.
 
With your support, we share bold new music globally. Your contributions have allowed us to develop the Resonance Ensemble Access Project (REAP), providing FREE high-quality live-streamed concerts. REAP fosters partnerships with local filmmakers and ensures that all of our concerts are accessible to the world.
 
With your support, we present music that inspires reflection and creates change. Our 13th season continues with dynamic new Resonance commissions, showcasing both long-time collaborators and powerful new voices. This spring will see two premieres: the Abya Yala Choral Suite (a commission by Chilean-born Portland composer Freddy Vilches) and the highly anticipated work An African American Requiem (composer Damien Geter’s bold response to violence against African Americans in the United States.)

With your support, you help create new art. Our goal is to raise $30,000 by December 31st—and we can’t do it without your help. We thank you for your ongoing support and ask you to consider a gift to Resonance today.

With your support, we continue. Our commitment to inclusive programming, presenting new music by living composers, engaging nationally-recognized storytellers from across artistic disciplines, and tackling complex issues with empathy and nuance is unwavering.

Along with our artists, staff, and board, I thank you for your commitment to Resonance Ensemble.

Sincerely,

Katherine FitzGibbon
President and Artistic Director

We can't do this without you.
