Serj Tankian releases Elect the Dead Symphony CD/DVD / Announces more Symphony dates

Serj Tankian, a Grammy Award winner and one of rock’s most unconventional frontmen, will perform Elect the Dead Symphony — a very special orchestral interpretation of Tankian’s critically acclaimed solo debut Elect the Dead — for two very special live shows to take place this summer.

Tankian will recreate Elect the Dead Symphony — which had its dynamic inaugural performance at New Zealand’s majestic Auckland Town Hall with the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra in March 2009 — with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra at Chastain Park Amphitheater on July 9th in Atlanta, and with an orchestra put together by The Greek Theatre on July 30th at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The shows follow a series of symphonic performances Tankian is giving in Europe in June.

The performance in New Zealand has also been captured on the Elect the Dead Symphony CD/DVD, which is in-stores now, and available on iTunes here.

Last week SPIN.com premiered a clip from the DVD for the song "Sky is Over".AOL music is streaming the album in its entirety here.
