Chancel Arts presents Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra

The Seattle Metropolitan Chamber Orchestra will present a afternoon of classical chamber music conducted by Ms. Kim Roy.

The SMCO was founded in 2009 by a group of young professionals in search of a more intense, intimate music-making experience. This group of musicians has grown to include those from all over Seattle and neighboring areas of Tacoma and Bellevue, while maintaining a vibrant and energetic performance character. Members of the ensemble have each earned a wide variety of accolades in their own right, including competition wins and performances with other leading ensembles around the world. The musicians of SMCO are committed to giving exciting performances that bring a fresh look to the masterpieces of the baroque, classical, romantic, and modern eras, while discovering new masterworks as well.

Kim Roy, conductor and violist, is a native of Western Washington. Ms. Roy is the Music Director of the Snohomish County Music Project in Everett and the Westside Symphony in West Seattle. A versatile musician, she is also the conductor of the Seattle Rock Orchestra. In this position, she has collaborated with many popular Seattle bands/songwriters, most recently with talented soul-singer Allen Stone. In the Summer of 2012, Ms. Roy led the first Seattle Rock Orchestra Summer Intensive, a week long rock orchestra experience for middle and high school students.
