Rufus Wainwright: Want Symphonic

Rufus Wainwright: Want Symphonic
Rufus Wainwright’s ‘want Symphonic’ (Live With BBC SSO) 20 years on from their acclaimed releases, ‘Baroque pop’ idol Rufus Wainwright brings an epic reimagining of his Want One and Want Two albums to Glasgow following performances across Europe and the US. Brand new arrangements, performed live with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, breathe fresh life into Wainwright’s blend of glossy pop, alt-rock, classical, jazz and French chanson. Join us at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall for Wainwright's only Scottish tour date and immerse yourself in an unforgettable night of lush orchestral brilliance. “Simply one of the great writers” David Bowie "Wainwright's fanciful songs about love and faith place him in the rarefied company of Bjork and Brian Wilson." Rolling Stone “This album is a glorious musical adventure with Wainwright's vocals -- sweet and unerringly hopeful” La Times Under 16s should be accompanied by an adult over 18 years.
