The Tea Party

Australia truly began its love affair with Canadian trio, The Tea Party in 1995.  The band's second album, The Edges of Twilight, became their first top 10 album in the country thanks to the incredible support from the fans, and Triple J championing them.

In 2002, The Tea Party toured Canada with a full Symphony Orchestra following the release of their Interzone Mantras album (whilst also touring Australia 3 times that year alone!). 

The Orchestral Show has never been performed outside of Canada or since 2002.

TEG Live is proud to announce for the first time in Australia, The Tea Party will perform with the iconic Melbourne Symphony Orchestra for one night only.  The event is exclusive to Melbourne and will be staged at the home of fine music, Hamer Hall at Arts Centre Melbourne.

The show is being updated from its Canadian origins to incorporate songs from its entire career including their epic and bombastic hits.

Since its inception, the band has relied heavily on the use of Middle Eastern instruments to provide a unique twist to their hard rock style.  Instruments such as Oud, Sitar, Qanoun, Hurdy Gurdy, Theremin, Rabob, Tabla and many unusual and rarely seen percussive instruments feature heavily through their catalogue and many of these will feature in this unique performance. 

A full Symphony will lend a dramatic turn to these songs with spectacular arrangements and the band is thrilled to work with such a world renowned orchestra.

TOUR DATE: Friday 28 April, 2017      Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne.
