Resonance Ensemble announces the opening concert of their 15th Anniversary Season featuring significant works, special guest artists and the release of their debut album, LISTEN

PORTLAND, OR — Resonance Ensemble, the acclaimed vocal group known for pushing the boundaries of classical music, is excited to announce, “LISTEN,” their 15th-anniversary celebration album release concert. This milestone event promises an unforgettable evening of many of the most important works in Resonance’s history – giving voice to the concerns, hopes, and dreams of our communities.

Known as “part social commentary and part group therapy,” Resonance Ensemble has been a force in Portland’s arts community for 15 years. In commemoration of this significant milestone, Resonance invites audiences to hear live performances of the works on their highly-anticipated debut album. The album and concert feature innovative commissions and regional premieres by Melissa Dunphy, Dominick DiOrio, Mari Esabel Valverde, Stacey Philipps, Renée Favand-See, and others who have played pivotal roles in shaping Resonance into what is described as "the best socially relevant music programming in Portland."

Special guest artists, including Renée Favand-See, Stacey Philipps, and frequent collaborator Vin Shambry, will join the exceptional musicians of the ensemble on stage at Lincoln 75 on the campus of Portland State University, a recital hall that carries the memories of some of Resonance’s very first performances.

Resonance Ensemble's founder and artistic director, Katherine FitzGibbon reflects, “Fifteen years of Resonance Ensemble have been a journey of exploration and evolution. 'LISTEN' is not just an album; it's a testament to our commitment to reinventing classical music as an art form that can create change in the world. We are excited to share this milestone with our audience and to continue to celebrate the transformative power of music.”

Resonance Ensemble's "LISTEN" album is available for pre-order now, and concert tickets are expected to sell out quickly. Don't miss this extraordinary event that celebrates 15 years of musical innovation, creativity, and the enduring strength of what Resonance calls “programming with purpose.”
