We Are Not A Typical Symphony
by admin

We are not a typical symphony.  It’s sometimes hard to describe our concerts.  When I hear “symphony” I often think “expensive nap.”  Yes, we have an orchestra.  Often we have choirs.  Then we pepper in Brazilian capoeira fighters, Japanese taiko drummers, the entire University of Washington drumline, Brazilian drummers and dancers, 2nd grade school choirs, DJ’s, & electric cellists (note:  the cello is electric, not the actual cellist).  We joke around a lot.  In fact, here is an example of one of the largest forms of flatulence you’ll ever witness:  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z8VjxG_Vto)  Our stage has hosted the Pike Place Fishmongers throwing salmon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iASkA1pdFkk), Alice in Chains fully, completely rocking out (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIY3aaJCjn4), our entire audience singing Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7bvUvJsZsk), even a barista from Starbucks making a cup of coffee with the orchestra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IBX4CIBGRw).  We have a lot of fun with our audiences & on stage!  Each concert in our 13 year run so far has been unique, emotional, fun, and serves a purpose.  The best way to describe a concert is to let our audience describe it for you!  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdZhp7CxOoY)
