Resonance draws on the shared experience of four musicians building a creative life while caring for partners, children, aging parents and community. It speaks to a jazz scene, and a society, still slow to recognise them. Lyrics for the project were commissioned, premiering new works by Michele Morgan, Hazel Smith and Andrea Keller alongside poems by Sara Teasdale and Jeannie Greensfelder.

Resonance inspires meaningful conversations about gender, creativity, and the challenges faced by women in the arts.
