THIS JUST IN: Sufjan Stevens At Academy Of Music

Sufjan Stevens is set to hit the road for an extensive North American tour in fall 2010, and will perform at the Academy of Music on November 10th. These performances will feature fully realized versions of the songs initially debuted during a late 2009 tour of small clubs in which Stevens workshopped several works-in-progress. “In his new songs,” The New York Times notes of one of Stevens’ fall 2009 Brooklyn performances, “love leads him to improvisation, chaos and spasms of rhythm, all precisely dolloped out.” Stevens will tour with his large ensemble performing alongside a full production including projections. Tickets for Sufjan Stevens go on sale Friday, August 13 at 10am.  All seats are available for $35 and can be purchased by calling 215-893-1999, online at www.kimmelcenter.org, or at the Kimmel Center box office, open daily from 10am to 6pm.
