ABOUT
Music we believe deserves to be heard.
The Resonance Project creates opportunities to discover remarkable chamber music through performance, recording and collaboration. We are drawn to repertoire with a distinctive voice: music that may be rarely heard, newly written, overlooked or simply deserving of renewed attention.
WHAT WE DO
PERFORMANCE
We bring musicians together around repertoire that deserves to be heard, creating performances shaped by the character of the music itself.
RECORDING
We make recordings that give underperformed and contemporary chamber music a life beyond the concert hall, helping distinctive repertoire reach new listeners.
DISCOVERY
We research repertoire, follow composers and musical connections, and develop projects from music that sparks curiosity and deserves deeper attention.
HOW WE WORK
The music comes first.
Resonance begins with repertoire rather than a fixed ensemble. We discover music that deserves attention, then bring together the musicians, collaborators and ideas needed to realise it properly.
WHY RESONANCE
Some music asks for another hearing.
We are interested in chamber music with a distinctive voice: overlooked works, underperformed repertoire and music by living composers that deserves a deeper life in performance. Resonance exists to give that music context, attention and the right people around it.
“It’s the most perfectly distilled form of music-making.”
FOUNDER AND BASSOONIST
Miles Chapman
I’m a freelance bassoonist and co-founder of New London Harmonia. Chamber music is central to my work, with a particular interest in modern and contemporary repertoire and music that is heard less often than it deserves.
I founded The Resonance Project to give that interest a dedicated home. Its projects grow out of performing, listening, researching scores and conversations with composers and fellow musicians. An unfamiliar piece can lead to an exploration of a composer’s work, a new collaboration or a programme connecting music in unexpected ways.
Resonance brings this discovery into my work as a performer and organiser: developing programmes, bringing musicians together and giving distinctive repertoire the time and attention it deserves.
