Following on from the formation of a BirraLee Tenth Anniversary Alumni Choir in 2005, Resonance of BirraLee was formed under the leadership of Paul Holley.

At the heart of EVOKX, our singers share a passion to inspire our audiences with Choral music that resonates with the soul, and instill empathy and charity through community engagement and Choral performance. We stand strong in our pursuit for artistic excellence, and strive to nurture our singers’ love of Choral music by giving them an avenue to further pursue their interest in Choral singing. In evoking the senses, emotions, and memories through the music we make, we hope to bring meaning and purpose to the community at large, and stay steadfast to our fundamental belief that music can bring people from all walks of life together to do good.  less

In May, 2013, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus, joining the choir in recording 4 of his pieces. This performance of Gjeilo's "Sanctus" is from that session. The other pieces were "Luminous Night of the Soul", & "Across The Vast, Eternal Sky", accompanied by the composer at the piano and joined by the Kairos Quartet -- the resident faculty string quartet at CWU. The final piece, "Ubi Caritas II: Through Infinite Ages", was recorded both in an unaccompanied rendition (how it is written and published) and in a version with Mr. Gjeilo improvising an accompaniment to the choir. This was Ola's second time on CWU's campus. His first visit was in the spring of 2011 and yielded 5 videos, a wide-ranging interview with the composer and other bonus material. It resulted in a DVD entitled "In the Moment", available for purchase at http://goo.gl/Xld0o) ...    less
