Artistic Director of Resonance Works, Maria Sensi Sellner, discusses live with Anna Singer about the Reson8 Vocal Octet's upcoming season launch.
The season launches with "Hero Songs", a concert featuring a five-song cycle by Peter Hilliard and Matt Boresi. The cycle explores the themes of heroism through different time periods and perspectives. The concert also features a piece by Reena Esmail, with local sitar player Michael Griska accompanying.
Maria talks about the concert's songs, and performers in the group, and the "Be a Hero" Initiative. The new volunteer advocacy program features 11 local organizations and aims to connect audiences with meaningful volunteer opportunities. The hero theme is strong with Reson8!
Maria also talks about how meaningful the program is to her, and how music can empower personal reflection and community action.
You can hear Reson8 perform on Saturday, September 22nd at 3 pm at Calvary Episcopal Church. Their second concert is Sunday, September 23rd at 4 pm at Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church.
