St. Vincent Live with Orchestra

St. Vincent has been regarded as one of the most innovative and fascinating presences in modern music for nearly 20 years, constantly reinventing her audio and visual personae over the course of a kaleidoscopic catalog and winning six GRAMMY Awards along the way. This summer, St. Vincent will venture once more into unexplored territory with a first ever limited run of orchestral performances. These special shows will see a selection of favorites and deep cuts spanning the St. Vincent discography brought to life in spellbinding new dimensions with the aid of GRAMMY-winning artist and renowned orchestrator, arranger, and conductor Jules Buckley. Together, St. Vincent and Buckley will enlist established local orchestras to forge new sonic worlds from her acclaimed albums, including Marry Me, Actor, Strange Mercy, St. Vincent, MASSEDUCTION, Daddy’s Home, and All Born Screaming—in what promises to be a series of unforgettable evenings of unique symphonic reinterpretations of songs from one of modern music’s most eclectic and acclaimed bodies of work.
