K posted these articles about the Symphony Tour..

Will there be a recorded or videotaped product coming out of this tour?
That would be wonderful, but there’s nothing in the plans right now. It’s quite an expensive and tricky process, apparently, to do that with a whole orchestra, so there’s no plans as of yet to do that. Although I certainly would love to do that.

Here’s a review of the first show of Sarah’s summer tour with the Symphony Tour:

Talk about orchestral manoeuvres in the dark.

Sarah McLachlan, who went back to theatre shows last year with guests in tow after her female music festival Lilith Fair failed to make a solid comeback in 2010, is once again playing amphitheatres this summer, this time touring with orchestras.

In fact, the 44-year-old Vancouver-based singer-songwriter and mother of two – whose last studio album was 2010’s Laws Of Illusion – kicked off her North American symphonic tour on Friday night at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and members of Whitehorse – guitarist Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland (real life husband-and-wife), the latter who were also part of her Massey Hall show in 2011.

Sarah will headline the eighth annual Looking Glass Foundation Gala at the Rocky Mountaineer Station on Feb. 10th. The dinner and auction will benefit The Woodstone treatment centre on Galiano Island. And, students from the Sarah McLachlan school of music will also perform! Here’s what Sarah wrote on her Facebook:

I have a speaking engagement tonight on behalf of this wonderful children’s charity, the Looking Glass Foundation. I had no idea when I committed to this over six months ago that it was being held in such a controversial location. It’s a great organization- learn more by checking out: www.lookingglassbc.co
