SHE / HER
Liz Bacon Brownson brings more than 25 years of experience in arts administration, marketing, organizational leadership, and creative entrepreneurship to her role as Executive Director of Resonance Ensemble. A member of the Resonance community since its founding, Liz first joined the organization as a performer before becoming an arts administrator and helping shape the organization’s growth through strategic planning, communications, fundraising, and operations.
Since 2015, Liz has served as Resonance’s Director of Marketing & Operations, working closely with Artistic Director Katherine FitzGibbon to support the organization’s innovative programming, community partnerships, and mission-driven approach to choral music. She has played a key role in developing Resonance’s brand, expanding its audience engagement, and building the systems that support the organization’s continued growth.
A classically trained singer, project manager, graphic designer, and marketer, Liz brings together her deep belief in the power of music with her passion for creating sustainable, collaborative organizations. She is the founder of Oh! Creative, a Portland-based creative consulting practice supporting arts organizations and mission-driven nonprofits.
Liz is honored to help lead Resonance into its next chapter — supporting artists, strengthening community connections, and advancing the organization’s vision for music that sparks meaningful social change.
