ABOUT THE CONCERT

As part of the Oregon Symphony’s Sounds Like Portland festival, The Sound of Us is presented at Benson High School Auditorium and showcases bold new works by composers living and creating in Portland today, including Stacey Philipps, Sydney Guillaume, Cecille Elliott, and Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw.

The program also features special guest Bora Yoon, whose genre-defying performances blend classical voice, electronics, and immersive media. Musicians from Fear No Music join the celebration, creating a rich, collaborative soundscape—a musical snapshot of Portland right now.

In partnership with Portland Public Schools, this concert will also serve as an access point for young audiences: Resonance will provide free tickets for PPS students and families, and work with educators to develop curriculum and artistic engagement opportunities connected to the concert’s themes and creators.
