Sweet Honey in the Rock with Resonance Ensemble
$69-$79
An unforgettable evening that resonates with the power of the human voice.
Resonance opens for the multiple Grammy-nominated group Sweet Honey In the Rock in two evenings of music that fuse the elastic possibilities of the human voice. Known as one of the most versatile performing collectives in music today with their deep catalog of socially conscious music rooted in African-American history and culture, Sweet Honey In The Rock celebrates its 50th anniversary this season—and their legacy aligns perfectly with Resonance Ensemble's mission of performing music that promotes meaningful social change.
As the producing organization, Resonance Ensemble will open for the main act with a set of selections from their own award-winning a cappella commissions for social justice. Works include pieces by composers Jasmine Barnes, Cecille Elliott, and Damien Geter.
Performances will include ASL Interpretation, provided by Sweet Honey In the Rock.
Two performances:
- Friday, April 5, 7:30pm at Patricia Reser Center for the Arts in Beaverton
- Saturday, April 6, 7:30pm at Portland Center Stage at The Armory
