The Decemberists: 2007 Orchestral Tour
The Decemberists have confirmed dates for their 2007 Orchestral Tour. Composer Sean O’Loughlin has written new orchestral arrangements for The Decemberist songs. "The Decemberists will make their orchestral debut with a five-city outdoor summer tour featuring the band performing with full symphony orchestras in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago," stated Capitol Music.
Sean O'Loughlin commissions from the Boston Pops Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra. He has arranged music with other bands, such as Nickel Creek, and Belle and Sebastian. He is also known for his musical arrangements with the Blue Man Group. Allowing his unique style of string arrangement to mix with Colin Meloy's writing style will make for five memorable events.
The Decemberists are currently touring with My Brightest Diamond, through May 5. Besides a performance at Bonnaroo, the band does not have any shows announced for June. The band's MySpace shows they will tour Europe in September and the UK in October.
