The Resonance Initiative is a multifaceted effort to change lives—and our city—through song and storytelling. We aim to restore singing to its role in civic life with projects and programs that appeal to contemporary audiences. We weave storytelling into our programming, allowing people to experience the transporting and transformative power of narrative.  We encourage people to reconsider how music and story connect to their own lives, and we will encourage them to access the songs and stories locked inside themselves. To this end, The Resonance Initiative has certain areas of focus:

The Resonance Initiative isn't out to create anything new or unique. It simply aims to awaken the song and give voice to the stories that lie deep inside each one of us. It is an invitation to our entire city to sing, to listen, to share stories, and to feel the power of music flow through them and through our neighborhoods and communities.

When we open ourselves to music and story-telling, we can experience our life-stories more fully and more vividly-and, in turn, create a better, more beautiful, more vibrant city.
