Sting to tour with orchestra this summer
Grammy award winning singer/songwriter Sting, who was first known as the singer for the rock band, The Police, is taking a new approach to his solo tour this summer: an orchestra.
The premise of the tour is still based on some of Sting’s best songs, but they have been re-imagined to better fit within the scope of a symphony arrangement. The material will come from his time spent with The Police, as well as his later solo projects.
“I’m delighted by this new opportunity to tour with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and reinterpret the songs I’ve been playing for many years,” Sting said in a press release.
This summer tour with Sting and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra is being conducted by Maestro Steven Mercurio. Guitarist Dominic Miller, percussionist David Cossin, vocalist Jo Lawry and bassist Ira Coleman will also be joining the 45-piece orchestra.
