Brunch & Bad Choices: A Miscast Adventure
What happens when Portland’s most socially conscious classical music institution goes delightfully off-script?
Inspired by the wildly popular Miscast format, this brunch-time fundraiser invites the singers of Resonance Ensemble to perform music they would never normally be cast to sing. Expect unexpected repertoire, surprising pairings, and joyful musical risk-taking as we SHIFT perspective—one song at a time.
Known for powerful performances that explore issues of justice, community, and belonging, Resonance Ensemble brings the same artistry, heart, and commitment to this playful annual fundraiser. Whether you’re a longtime supporter or discovering Resonance for the first time, you’ll experience the thoughtful creativity and musical excellence that have made the ensemble one of Portland’s most distinctive choral voices.
Coffee. Mimosas. Musical mayhem.
Pajamas encouraged. Decorum negotiable.
Every laugh, surprise, and standing ovation helps launch and sustain Resonance Ensemble’s 2026–27 season, supporting transformative performances, educational programs, and community partnerships throughout the year.
