Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra's 2017-2018 Season "Voices of Courage" kicks off with an evening of music and poetry at Fremont Abbey on October 11, featuring Seattle's Civic Poet from 2015-2017, Claudia Castro Luna. In this unique event, SMCO examines the search for an American musical identity, explores the lasting influence of Black music in the classical music canon, and continues a conversation about race and persistent problems of inequality in music.
Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra is a young professional ensemble of classically-trained players, now in its ninth season of performances. SMCO players have performed with Seattle Symphony, Macklemore, Tacoma Symphony, Seattle Rock Orchestra, and many others. The orchestra brings music of all eras and styles to life, with a significant focus on the music of living composers and collaborations with artists of other genres.
