Sting will remain comfortably in his classical groove with the announcement of a summer 2010 tour with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, according to the New York Times on February 21, 2010. The short list of tour cities includes Chicago at the Ravinia Festival and begins in Vancouver on June 2, 2010. These performances will be similar to previously successful concerts with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the Philadelphia Orchestra, with Sting’s songs rearranged for Britain’s 54-piece orchestra along with an additional quartet including guitarist, bassist, multipercussionist and another vocalist.
After attending the Chicago Symphony Orchestra performance last May 2009, I know these will be unique and special performances for music enthusiasts and Sting fans, and I hope to have the opportunity to attend myself!
