Beck will be accompanied by Philharmonia Australia (Orchestra Director Leah Zweck), with Orchestra Supervisor Chong Lim AM in a reimagining of Beck’s celebrated catalogue. There will be hits and deep cuts from classic Beck works including the multi-platinum Odelay, world-tripping Mutations, somber and reflective Sea Change, and GRAMMY Album of the Year winner Morning Phase, plus a share of surprises.

Melbourne fans are in for a world-class treat, particularly in the hands of Philharmonia Australia. Philharmonia Australia is one of the country’s leading session orchestras and has been the orchestra of choice for numerous national tours with Josh Groban, John Farnham & Olivia Newton-John, Hans Zimmer, Michael Bolton, Harry Connick Jnr, and Ministry Of Sound. Picture ‘Loser’ with a glorious string section, or ‘E-Pro’ carried by haunting compositions.

This is expected to be a duo of shows in major demand so be sure to get in now for presale signup. Frontier Members can get early access to tickets for the iconic Palais Theatre performances via the Members Presale, which starts today at 11am (AEDT). Tickets will then go sale Thursday 5 March (11am AEDT).
