Sting shines as frontman for a new band - Musical catalogue that spans nearly four decades given a new glow with support from 45-piece symphony orchestra... - reports the Vancouver Sun...

"The symphonic arrangements certainly breathed new life into some of the songs, particularly on the Police material. Even angry songs like Roxanne - which is really an angry song about the end of a relationship - becomes re-contextualized into a romantic light (which, as it happens, literally bathed the stage in red)..."

Sting Theory - Sting talks to the Financial Times ahead of the opening of Symponicity Tour in Vancouver...

Outside the graffiti-scrawled white walls of Abbey Road studios, Japanese tourists are photographing their friends in Beatles poses on the world's most famous pedestrian crossing. Inside is a maze of studios. The largest is Studio One, where there is a 45-piece orchestra - young men and women clad mainly in jeans and shirts - as well as a guitarist, percussionist and blonde female vocalist. They are being put through their paces by Steven Mercurio, a wiry, energetic conductor. Tucked behind him, sitting straight-backed on a stool and wordlessly nodding to the opening bars of "Field of Gold", is Sting...

''I'm just like a kid with a new train set'', says Sting...

Sting announced his forthcoming world tour and orchestral album Symphonicities with an intimate gig at the iconic Abbey Road studios. The elegant melancholy of An Englishman in New York, his tribute to Quentin Crisp, gained depth as well as a bongo solo and a call and response ending with the whole orchestra. I Hung My Head benefited hugely from plangent woodwinds and fluttering strings. My Ain True Love, which he composed for the movie Cold Mountain, was stripped down to its Celtic essentials, while Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic bounced exuberantly off the walls. As a bonus, he gave us Next To You, the first song from the first Police album. This hectic, punky number worked surprisingly well with a big band behind it...
