New Sting Album, SYMPHONICITIES, to be Released this Summer on Deutsche Grammophon
 
First Single, “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” to be Released Digitally on Monday 24th May
 
Live Nation announced today that Sting, accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, will extend his world tour to Europe and the UK this autumn. The Symphonicity tour, commencing in Vancouver on June 2, followed by sold-out performances across North America throughout the summer, will find Sting performing his most celebrated songs re-imagined for symphonic arrangement. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra will be conducted by Maestro Steven Mercurio (Pavarotti, Bocelli).
 
Presented in a variety of settings, the European tour will begin September 3 at Oslo’s Konserthus followed by a September 5 performance at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.  On October 5, Sting, accompanied by the Northern Sinfonia Orchestra, will perform a special concert at the Sage Hall in his hometown of Newcastle, England. Also announced today are performances at other prestigious venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall on October 1, Teatro Verdi in Florence on October 25, Teatro Arcimboldi in Milan on November 2, and Santa Cecilia in Rome on November 10.  Additionally, September will find the tour making stops in Stockholm, Helsinki, Berlin, Koln and Paris, followed by concerts in Dublin, Nantes, Antwerp, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Stuttgart throughout October, with additional performances in Turin and Vienna in November.
 
 
The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has previously performed with internationally-renowned artists ranging from opera luminaries Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Renée Fleming, Kiri Te Kanawa and the late Luciano Pavarotti to popular cultural icons including Burt Bacharach, George Benson, Michel Legrand, Diana Krall, Tina Turner and Randy Newman.  The 45-piece orchestra will be featured on all North American concert dates of the tour.
 
Sting will also be joined by a quartet comprised of Dominic Miller (Sting’s longtime guitarist), David Cossin (a multi-percussion specialist in new and experimental music and featured member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars), Jo Lawry (vocalist) and Ira Coleman (bassist).
Sting’s first venture into the classical realm began with the success of his #1 album "Songs from the Labyrinth,"  a lute-based interpretation of the music of 16th century composer John Dowland, released in 2006 on Deutsche Grammophon. After completing the enormously successful Police reunion world tour, Sting returned to pursue his passion for uniting musical genres with his most recent release "If On A Winter's Night..." which debuted at #1 on Billboard's classical chart.
