Vocalists & Songs
Music and sound play a key role in driving the emotional arc of ECHO. Featuring 14 eclectic show tracks
inspired by a mix of pop, electronic, vocal, and classical stylings, the music of ECHO defies any single genre.
It is uniquely layered with depth and textures inspired by our relationship to the natural world.
As Band Leader, Michael Lieberman describes it, “Our most natural instrument is the human voice, and so
it makes sense conceptually to use vocals to establish a symbiotic relationship between humanity and
the environment.” This is followed closely by strings and percussion, which represent the sounds, rhythms,
and beating heart of nature.
Like many Cirque du Soleil productions, ECHO features a live band incorporated into the performance,
but for the first time in Cirque history, the band features 6 vocalists who also play instruments.
As one might expect from a show titled “ECHO,” each performance builds on a repetition of sound effects,
but with a slightly different intention depending on the emotional curve in the show. Taken together, these
unique sounds have a huge effect on the storytelling and audio experience for the audience.
