Radix Vocal Ensemble
Singing with clarity, authenticity, gratitude, and above all, joy.
Radix [RAH-deeks]: Latin, meaning “root”
The Radix Vocal Ensemble seeks to inspire in ourselves and in our audiences a deep appreciation for the beautiful diversity of human experience expressed through song. We also aim to strengthen community - both our own, and the circles of community that emanate from it - through vocal performances that are compelling, meaningful, and joyous.
Saturday, May 17 - 7pm
Rose City Park Presbyterian Church
For the Radix spring show 2025, we plan to take you with us on a journey. From the heady excitement of the initial send-off, full of possibility and wonder; through the sometimes thrilling, sometimes painful twists and turns along the way; and at last to the journey’s end, where home awaits. This concert will be full of the usual Radix magic: beautiful songs you can’t believe you’ve never heard before; each one of our wonderful singers highlighted in solos and small ensembles; and unexpected instruments and special guests. It will be a wondrous evening; we hope you’ll join us!
Sing with Radix this Summer
(Stay tuned for dates/times.)
Radix was thrilled and honored this year to receive a grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council (RACC) to offer two community singing events in the summer of 2025. These “summer sings” will feature the singers of Radix as well as Portland-based folk artist and educator, Leela Grace, but also YOU out in the audience! Come and learn some beautiful traditional American folk songs in 3-part harmony, and spend a few hours in communion with your fellow humans. We’ll discuss the historical background of each song, as well as the tradition of communal singing in the United States. But most of all, we will raise our voices together to celebrate the joy of building community through song!
