Visual Artists

In Songs of the Sphere, Resonate along with other musical groups, performed music composed by Kristen Gordon to accompany paintings by Beth Lorio. Each musical piece and its corresponding artwork represents an element of the natural world, inviting listeners into a deeper connection with the environment that sustains us. Songs of the Sphere lives on as a printed and digital oracle deck and song cycle that people can use to explore truths about their individual paths as they imagine the lives that hum and hop alongside human concerns.

Theater

Resonate collaborated with Broken Planetarium, a nonprofit theater company that creates new, imaginative theater with professional actors and people who have never before had the chance to make theater. Tear Down This Wall dramatized the story of the fall of the Berlin Wall blending choir, theater, and activism into transformative storytelling.

Dance + Movement

In a mini-colloboration, Resonate partnered with six members of BodyVox’s JAG (Junior Artist Generator) dancers for a lovely and poignant performance of moves and music featuring A Beautiful Noise by Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile, arranged by guest director Leela Grace. We welcome collaboration with other movement artists!

Bands

In our signature Homemade Jams, Resonate combines the artistry of local bands and songwriters with the power of Resonate’s four-part choir. Collaborators include:

Y La Bamba , a popular post-punk Latin indie band led by singer/songwriter Luz Elena Mendoza

Fox & Bones, offbeat folksters with a retro-tinged, soul-stirring, modern vintage bent

Portland Peace Choir, a non-auditioned community choir dedicated to promoting peace through music and community

Glam Country, a Portland-based glam rock/country band led by Nik Kemmer
