Meet Our Staff

Lindsey Wildman- Interim Artistic Director

Lindsey Wildman brings extensive choral conducting and music education experience, along with a proven ability to step into established programs, (currently as Choir Director at Cedar Creek Middle School) build trust quickly, and provide stability during times of transition. She holds a Master of Music in Choral Conducting from Portland State University and comes highly recommended by PLC accompanist Colin Shepard.

Brooke Rencher- Interim Resonate Leader

Brooke Rencher, a former PLC and Resonate singer, brings significant small-ensemble and a cappella leadership experience—and already knows and loves the Resonate community. Her connection runs deep: she arranged “Valerie,” performed by Resonate during the 2024–25 season. She also brings extensive small-ensemble and a cappella leadership experience. As Music Director of Portland State University's The Green Note, she selected and commissioned arrangements, planned and led rehearsals, created learning resources, taught music, provided feedback to singers, and helped guide the ensemble's artistic direction. During her tenure, The Green Note won its Oregon Quarterfinal in the Varsity Vocals ICCA Tournament for the first time in the group's history.

Colin Alexsei Shepard is the staff collaborative pianist for the Portland State University internationally renowned choral studies program under Dr. Ethan Sperry and Professor Coty Raven-Morris, and the recently retired music director at Cedar Hills UCC. He is the pianist and organizer for the now nationally-acclaimed ‘opera-oke and musical theater-oke’ series at the live classical music bar—Mendelssohn’s Bar PDX on North Mississippi Avenue in Portland. An ardent opera fan and voice coach, Colin has played piano in recital with MET Grammy winner Audrey Luna with Portland Concert Opera, and played for masterclasses held by opera legends Lawrence Brownlee, Frederica von Stade, and more.
