New Order Will Perform Two Concerts with the Australian Chamber Orchestra

New Order released their latest album Music Complete last year, and are in the midst of touring in support of it. To keep momentum going, the band have unveiled some special surprises, including an expanded edition of Music Complete and a one-of-a-kind performance with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

On June 2 and 4, at the Sydney Opera House, New Order and the 13-piece ensemble will premiere orchestral suites, arranged by the British composer Joe Duddell, from the band's catalog. In a press release, the ACO stated that the material will draw upon albums and songs from "Movement's early indie anthems through to the chart-topping highs of Technique and their record-breaking single 'Blue Monday.'" There will also be renditions of "Joy Division favourites." The performances are part of the ACO's VividLIVE series of orchestral works from contemporary music. Get your tickets here.

That's not all the band is up to. On May 13, New Order's label Mute will release Complete Music, a companion to Music Complete, which includes extended versions of every track on the album as well as the full album itself. All but one of the tracks previously appeared on a limited edition vinyl release of Music Complete. Check out the tracklist, tour dates, and the video for single "Singularity" below.
