Sufjan Stevens announces fall tour dates
July 7, 2006
According to a press release, Stevens "will perform a repertoire of familiar songs from Seven Swans, Michigan and Illinois in a new symphonic context. This tour is not a promotional tour for The Avalanche... but instead a chance for Stevens to showcase his compositions in a more formal atmosphere."
The majority of the venues will be sit-down theatres, with performances featuring a small string ensemble (ranging from four to eight members in different cities) and brass section; Stevens plans to perform five to six new songs at each show, as well.
