Having dazzled crowds at landmark venues from London’s Royal Albert Hall to New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl, Beck has confirmed that Australian audiences will soon have their first chance to experience the magic of his live orchestral performances.

This May, Beck will be accompanied by native orchestras for a very special limited run of five shows – three at the Sydney Opera House and two at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne – reimagining a body of work including hits and deep cuts from classic Beck works including the multi-platinum Odelay, world-tripping Mutations, somber and reflective Sea Change, and GRAMMY Album of the Year winner Morning Phase, plus a share of surprises.

Praise for Beck’s previous orchestral dates has been uniformly effusive, including:

‘Other cities and other coasts deserve a piece of this big a musical win, too… deeply gorgeous stuff’ – VARIETY

‘The orchestral arrangements were the real star of the night, a signpost of [Beck’s] maturity as an artist… This was Beck’s Golden Age, and he succeeded in putting his all into a performance worthy of a brick in the 57th St. subway’ – Rolling Stone

Melbourne: Performing with Beck at the Palais Theatre will be Philharmonia Australia (Orchestra Director Leah Zweck), with Orchestra Supervisor Chong Lim AM.

Philharmonia Australia is one of the country’s leading session orchestras and has been the orchestra of choice for numerous national tours with Josh Groban, John Farnham & Olivia Newton-John, Hans Zimmer, Michael Bolton, Harry Connick Jnr and Ministry Of Sound.

Frontier Members can get early access to tickets for the iconic Palais Theatre performances via the Members Presale, which starts today at 11am (AEDT). Tickets will then go sale Thursday 5 March (11am AEDT) – head to frontiertouring.com/beck for all full tour information.
