ABOUT THE CONCERT

You think you know Resonance singers: the opera stars, early-music angels, and choral pros. You may not know them quite like this.

Hosted by Portland icon Poison Waters, Brunch & Bad Choices turns Resonance’s season opener into a boozy, hilarious musical free-for-all. Inspired by the popular Miscast format, our singers ditch their usual repertoire for songs you’d never expect them to sing—with pianist Claire Forstman along for the ride.

Come for the brunch. Stay for the bad choices.
