Résonance is a premier vocal ensemble, comprised of multi-talented, professional singers from the area, whose mission is to engage, inspire and challenge those they entertain through eclectic and innovative vocal music performances and compelling collaborations. While at the core, we are an a capella ensemble; we also perform collaboratively with instrumentalists in styles that range from early music and opera to jazz and musical theater. Founded in 2012 by three inspired sopranos who saw the need for a collaborative ensemble of its kind, we are led by music director Kevin Smith and associate music directors Brett Epperson and Tom Lesiak. Our artists have performed under the direction of a variety of esteemed vocal arts specialists such as international composer/conductor Andy Brick; conductor/composer and educator Ernest Richardson; world-renowned organist and choral master Tom Trenney; opera music director and producer J. Gawf; and vocal expert and collaborative pianist John J. Bennett. In the spring our artists have the distinguished opportunity to work with versatile conductor Barron Breland and the Emmy- and Grammy-nominated choral specialist Judith Clurman. Recent collaborations include performances with the Omaha Symphony, Gallup, Omaha Consort, Renaissance Faire Nebraska, Pizza Shoppe Collective, Rangbrook Ensemble, Holiday Lights Festival, College of Saint Mary and Trinity Cathedral Concert Series. Upcoming collaborations include performances at Temple Israel with the Creighton University Chamber Choir. We are in residence at SNJ Studio of Music and perform in partnership with Trinity Episcopal Cathedral.
