About Us
The seed for Resound Concerts was planted in 2024, when the benefit concert Calando (Palo Alto, CA) succeeded in raising over $34,000 for World Renew's humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine and Gaza, proving classical music to be an effective and meaningful tool that can bring neighbors together in the desire to be of service to their communities and to the world. Produced by pianist Gretchen Hull, that concert's success inspired her to embark on the more long-term effort that is Resound Concerts. She is pleased to work together with a volunteer board that is fully committed to its mission.
When you donate to Resound Concerts, your donations help pay our musicians, hall rental fees, and the regular costs of running an organization. This allows 100% of our ticket sales to go to our partner non-profit or charitable cause.
Gretchen Hull, Founder & Board President
Resound Concerts, Inc. is a registered public benefit 501(c)(3) in California.
OURMISSION
is to engage our community in contributing to charitable partner organizations or causes through producing creatively-executed and innovatively-programmed classical music benefit concerts. Through choosing engaging repertoire and new formats, we aim to show audience members who are less familiar with classical music that classical music can speak to them, too.
Not only do we produce benefit concerts, but we also seek to create a broad and robust network of long-lasting partnerships and relationships between classical musicians and individuals leading charitable efforts in our local communities, in our nation, and in the world. While we are motivated by the Christian faith, we welcome musicians and audiences of all faith backgrounds, and partner with faith-based or non-faith-based organizations alike in the efforts to serve neighbors and communities.
OURVISION
is to glorify God and serve our neighbors using the power of classical music to inspire hope and renewal in communities here and around the world.
