2010 | Primal Symphony

A symphony inspired by voice, Mateo opened the concert by replacing each chair of the orchestra with a singer as they emulated each instrument with their voices. In all, 5 choirs comprising of over 500 singers performed, including a virtual choir for a piece Mateo wrote called “The Scream Heard Around The World.” The concert was massively popular as the choirs combined with the orchestra made for a massive expression of emotion. The concert focused on our primal scream and the importance of our voice throughout history.

Featuring Barcelona, Blake Lewis, Claire Nordstrom, Seattle Men’s Chorus, Seattle Choral Company, NW Chorale, NW Boychoir, Worldwide virtual choir and patient musician Alfie Bautista
