Marillion have announced that they will be releasing a new album entitled :With Friends From The Orchestra" on November 29th, 2019 featuring the band performing songs from their catalog with with friends from the orchestra.
The album was recorded at The Racket Club and Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios and features nine of their classic songs performed with In Praise Of Folly String Quartet with Sam Morris (French Horn) and Emma Halnan (Flute).
The band had this to say, "So our brilliant producer and collaborator Michael Hunter wrote some new string arrangements and we took a week out to go to Real World Studios and record with our friends. The result has exceeded our expectations, is indeed a thing of beauty.
"We hope you enjoy the songs and agree with us that some of them are actually better than the originals(!). Whether or not you agree with that bold statement we're sure this work will move you."
