Resonance Ensemble: We Are Still Here
$40 ($30 senior, $15 artist/student/veteran, $5 Arts For All at the door)
- Chisao Hata, dance
- Katherine FitzGibbon, conductor
- Shohei Kobayashi, conductor
Resonance Ensemble joins Vanport Mosaic, artist Chisao Hata, and survivors of Japanese-American incarceration and their descendants, to acknowledge the little-known history of the Portland Expo Center and honor the survival and persistence of Japanese Americans in our region.
As part of the 10th Vanport Mosaic Festival, this event will activate the former WWII-era assembly center with historical photographs and video projections, a communal altarpiece, and musical and theatrical offerings—including new site-specific works conceived by Hata. In tandem with Vanport Mosaic's celebration of a decade of memory activism, this evening will be recorded for an ongoing digital memorial as we aim to recognize and ring out the whole of this space in sound, word, movement, and song.
Concert will take place in Portland Expo Center Hall A
About Resonance Ensemble
Resonance Ensemble, a professional vocal ensemble based in Portland, Oregon, creates powerful programs that promote meaningful social change. Resonance works to amplify voices that have long been silenced, and they do so through moving, thematic concerts that highlight solo and choral voices, new music by composers and poets whose stories have been underrepresented on the concert stage, visual and other performing artists, and community partners.
