Sophie Ellis-Bextor

The renowned singer will perform orchestral versions of her hits
as well as songs from the great cannon of disco songs. Since the release
of her debut album Read My Lips in 2001, which sold over 2 million
copies worldwide, Ellis-Bextor has had six Top 10 singles, including
Take Me Home, Get Over You, and of course Murder on the Dancefloor. She
has incorporated several genres over the course of her career, from her
debut through to 2014’s Wanderlust, which fused elements of folk,
baroque and orchestral music. Her most recent album, 2016’s Familia,
included disco, dance, sophisti-pop and chamber pop. What has been a
constant thread though is her trademark, stunning vocal sound.

The
basis for the shows will be arrangements stemming from her forthcoming
Orchestral Greatest Hits album due in 2019, on which she worked with
long term collaborator and album producer Ed Harcourt with orchestral
arrangements by Amy Langley (Dirty Pretty Strings), and additional
production from David Arnold.
