Evanescence 2018 Australian east coast tour
Two-time Grammy award-winners Evanescence have announced an Australian east coast tour, Synthesis Live With Orchestras, to celebrate the band’s fourth studio album Synthesis, due out Friday 10th November.
Set to deliver a truly transcendent experience, Synthesis Live will see the band collaborate with world class Australian symphony orchestras alongside electronic programming. As part of the global Synthesis Live tour, the Australian dates will kick off at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, moving on to the Sydney Opera House for two performances with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, before culminating in Melbourne at Rod Laver Arena with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
“I'm really looking forward to bringing this new and different show to Australia,” says Amy Lee, “Playing the Sydney Opera House is something I've dreamed about all my life. I remember taking the ferry over to Manly during days off on past tours with the band, and looking over at the legendary structure, saying ‘One day, we're going to play there!’ I can't believe it's finally going to be a reality. We're all very excited about it.”
Not simply a ‘greatest hits’ album, Synthesis takes a selection of Evanescence’s three previous studio releases along with two new songs, and reimagines them with brand-new recordings. Synthesis is an amalgamation of Amy Lee’s masterful singing and piano playing, supported by her band, a full symphony orchestra performing arrangements by long-time collaborator David Campbell as well as an array of electronic music programming and effects.
As their evolution continues, the band is excited to bring Synthesis Live to Australia, performing the record start-to-finish with the expertise and skill of the country’s finest Symphony orchestras for each show. “The recording is very much tied to the live experience we want to create,” says Lee. “I’m anxiously excited to play some much more involved, challenging piano for the show, and to focus on singing live more like the way I do in the studio.”
Australia holds a huge fan base for Evanescence with the band having in excess of 700,000 ARIA accredited album sales over their career so far.
