What happens when a bunch of professional singers stop being so respectable?
Brunch & Bad Choices is a one-of-a-kind morning of music, mischief, and questionable decisions featuring the singers of Resonance Ensemble — the opera stars, early-music angels, and choral pros you may have seen on Portland stages, but probably not quite like this.
Hosted by Portland drag legend Poison Waters, this is not your typical choir concert. Expect powerhouse singing, unexpected musical plot twists, a few surprises, and a whole lot of fun.
Your ticket includes:
• Live performance featuring Resonance artists Katherine FitzGibbon, Quinton Gardner, Erik Hundtoft, Jessica Israels, Eulis Kay, Shohei Kobayashi, Brandon Michael, Vakarė Petroliūnaitė, and Madeline Ross, with Claire Forstman on piano
• Poison Waters as your host and emcee
• Brunchy bites + two cocktails — because one questionable decision is never enough
• Dessert to finish things off
Pajamas encouraged. Decorum negotiable.
This is a party with a purpose. Your ticket and your generosity support Resonance, its artists, and the programs that make its work possible. A special appeal and paddle raise will give you the chance to help keep the music going.
Come hungry. Come thirsty. Come ready to see what happens when some of Portland’s finest singers cut loose.
The Willamette Week calls Resonance “the best damn choir show in town.”
