Attention all emo enthusiasts and orchestra aficionados! Prepare to be blown away by a captivating new spectacle hitting the stage. Introducing Emo Orchestra, an extraordinary creation by Ben Mench-Thurlow that seamlessly combines the beloved emo anthems of yesteryear with a touch of refined sophistication (think Myspace meets Warped Tour meets Suit and Tie sophistication). Featuring the special guest appearance of Hawthorne Heights and a full ensemble of talented musicians, Emo Orchestra is embarking on its inaugural tour this fall. The journey will kick off on September 27th in Cincinnati, followed by performances in Nashville, Atlanta, DC, Indianapolis, and more.
“Our aim with Emo Orchestra was to create an all-inclusive experience that resonates with a diverse audience of music enthusiasts,” explains Mench-Thurlow. “This is a chance for early admirers of the emo genre to share the music we all cherished with the next generation, while ensuring it remains family-friendly. The addition of the orchestra introduces a fascinating texture and depth to these nostalgic classics, while exposing fans to musical instruments they may be less familiar with in a fresh setting. Likewise, lovers of orchestral music will enjoy their favorite elements with an exhilarating twist!”
In addition to performing their own original compositions, Hawthorne Heights will deliver an extensive collection of iconic emo hits that will transport fans to formative moments while simultaneously forging new memories.
Emo Orchestra and Hawthorne Heights invite you to express your personal style, whether it be dressing up or dressing down, for an unforgettable night of music that will leave an indelible mark on your soul.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 30th on the Emo Orchestra’s website.
