Sold out!
Just got back from the Green Lama concert at the Rubin Museum. Absolutely incredible performance by all, and I've gotta say...I really loved the experience. Creating sound effects and composing music, as well as choosing music by (mostly contemporary) composers and, uh, mashing it all up proved to be great fun. It didn't hurt that we had stellar performers, both musicians (MAYA) and actors (including Linus Roache as the Green Lama and Brian Cox as Willie the Sleeper). Food for thought - it certainly was a new direction for Sympho, and the audience was really receptive to it. Very happy.

Sympho has invented a new performance concept, at once more accessible and visceral than the traditional concert-hall experience. Gone are the barriers separating orchestra from audience. Innovative theatrical techniques borrowed from contemporary theatre – alternative spatial positioning, lighting – help invigorate a concert-hall experience gone musty with tradition.
