Extended Community

Who We Are
Sound Circle
Sound Circle, a women's a cappella ensemble, singing together since 1994, is directed by founding Artistic Director Sue Coffee. Sound Circle and Resonance are separate entities and differ in size and structure, but share common values and vision: authenticity of voice, relevance of texts, intentionality of community, and an understanding of the importance of beauty and the healing power of musical community. 
GALA Choruses (the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) 
GALA Choruses (the Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses) supports, guides, and inspires LGBTQ+ choruses and their allies to leverage the liberating power of singing to create harmony and equity for all. GALA Choruses’ signature event is the quadrennial Festival. The most recent festival, in July 2024, brought together over 122 choruses and 7,000 singers for the world’s largest LGBT performing arts event.

We acknowledge and appreciate our friends in the other Colorado member choruses of GALA: Denver Gay Men's Chorus, Denver Women's Chorus, Harmony: A Colorado Chorale, Sine Nomine,  Out Loud: The Colorado Springs Men's Chorus, and Phoenix, Colorado's Trans Community Choir.
Sister Singers
The Sister Singers Network is a cooperative web of feminist choruses and ensembles, composers, arrangers, and individual singers working together to support and enrich the women's choral movement. 
Boulder County Arts Alliance
Boulder County Arts Alliance acts as a catalyst to incubate, stimulate, and sustain a thriving arts community in Boulder County. Their activities include grant programs, workshops, fellowships, and more. As Resonance’s fiscal agent, BCAA processes tax-deductible contributions for us.

Resonance rehearses at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church. Recent performances have been at UCC Longmont, and in Boulder, First United Methodist Church and First Congregational Church. We have much appreciation and gratitude for all of these churches.
