«In addition to her insightful music, Björk has always focused on the visuals of her performances. Following the magnificent staging of her previous 'Cornucopia' tour, something new is yet to come. At the Orchestral Concert, the Hartwall Arena transforms into a theatrical and intimate concert hall. The music focuses on Björk's acoustic string arrangements of all her works to date.»
