- The UK composer will take his new live show across Europe in October, including two performances at London's Southbank Centre.
Legendary composer and artist Brian Eno will embark on his first-ever solo tour this October.
The tour will see Eno's new live show, Ships, coming to London's Royal Festival Hall for two performances on Monday the 30th. Before that, he'll be in Venice (21st, Teatro la Fenice), Berlin (24th, Philharmonie Berlin), Paris (26th, La Seine Musicale) and Utrecht (28th, TivoliVredenburg).
Ships is an orchestral adaptation of Eno's 2016 album, The Ship. The show, which will also feature other new and old material, will be his first appearance alongside an orchestra. He'll perform with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic and frequent collaborators Leo Abrahams and Peter Chilvers.
"The album The Ship is an unusual piece in that it uses voice but doesn't particularly rely on the song form" Eno said. "I wanted an orchestra that played music the way I would like to play music: from the heart rather than just from the score. I wanted the players to be young and fresh and enthusiastic."
