Electronic music meets a classical orchestra; the atmosphere of a dance club meets the concert hall. This is Synthony: a fusion of pulsating grooves and orchestral arrangements, enhanced by brilliant DJs and outstanding singers. The result: tracks by Avicii and Calvin Harris, Darude, David Guetta and many more – songs you know inside out, but as you’ve never heard them before.

The idea for this project was born in New Zealand in 2016, when pilot David Elmsly and his then partner, DJ Erika Amoore, watched a video clip of the ‘BBC Proms’. An annual concert series that has been wonderfully celebrating the crossover between classical and popular music for decades. The pair liked the formula; Elmsly and Amoore added DJs, singers and a rousing light and stage show to the mix. The result: Synthony, a fabulous fusion project combining thumping beats and powerful strings, high-speed electronic music and crystal-clear orchestral sound.

Although Amoore and Elmsly were unsure before the 2017 premiere in Auckland whether it would remain a one-off event, Synthony’s debut at the sold-out Town Hall proved an overwhelming success. Tickets for the two follow-up concerts in 2018 at the same venue were also snapped up within a few hours. Synthony soon conquered Australia too; the European premiere in Athens followed in 2024, followed by further guest performances in Calgary and Las Vegas, Paris and Amsterdam, among others – before Synthony now brings the Munich Olympic Hall to life on its 2026 European tour.
