Shape the Music of Tomorrow, Support the Voices of Today

Thank You for Fifteen Amazing Years! 

It is hard to capture what the last 15 years have meant to us at Resonance Ensemble. From our first concerts, to our debut at the Kennedy Center, Resonance—and the world around us—has changed. In 2016 when we shifted our focus, we found our voice in the larger choral community as a leader in promoting meaningful social change through excellent performances of captivating programming. As we continue embarking on this transformative journey to shape the music of tomorrow, we invite you to join us in supporting the voices of today.

Your donation will not only fund the creation of new music; it will be an investment in stories that deserve to be heard, in voices that need to be amplified. Just this past year Resonance Ensemble was able to commission eight artists, including composers Darrell Grant, Kenji Bunch, Cecille Elliott, Kimberly R. Osberg, and Judy A. Rose, and poets A. Mimi Sei, S. Renee Mitchell, and Vin Shambry. We were able to release our debut album LISTEN, and we look forward to the recording of our next album—which will solely feature works commissioned by Resonance Ensemble. All of this is possible because of your steadfast generosity. 

Today, as we embark on our year-end campaign of our 15th Season, our goal is to raise $15,000 to help shape the music of tomorrow. No matter the size of your gift ($15, $115, $15,000), your contribution will directly support our efforts to commission world-class composers, continue our tradition of high-level artistry, and ensure that the voices of underrepresented composers are heard and celebrated. Your generosity is the key to unlocking new compositions, new voices, and new possibilities. 

We invite you to visit our website to learn more about these efforts and how your contribution can help shape the music of tomorrow. To donate today, please mail your check or credit card info to us at 3121 South Moody Avenue #130, click here, or call us at 503-427-8701.

Let’s celebrate 15 years of Resonance Ensemble by ensuring the next 15 are even more extraordinary. Your support is not just a donation; it is a commitment to making a difference. Along with our artists, staff, and Board of Directors, I thank you for supporting Resonance Ensemble.

Sincerely,

Katherine FitzGibbon
President and Artistic Director, Resonance Ensemble
