Wax Tailor Levels Up with Some Symphony Swag

and he's bringing his orchestral love stateside

French downtempo guru Wax Tailor is set to premiere The Phonovisions Symphony Orchestra on November 4th for the first time in the US. For the project, first a live show and then a DVD, he enlists the help of a 35 musician orchestra and 20 person choir to bring his tracks, including the ubiquitous "Que Sera," to life.

Tailor's an old hand at orchestral arrangements. In 2011, he teamed up with the Orchestra of the opera of Rouen and performed 4 sellout concerts in Europe. Now it's time for him to take on the States. Check out this video of Wax Tailor performing "Que Sera" with an orchestra and peep the dates for viewing parties below:
