Singer-songwriter Beck is momentarily trading in his signature blend of musical genres, including alternative rock, electronica, folk, and hip-hop, to perform some of his greatest hits with a classical twist.

Earlier this month, the 53-year-old musician kicked off a short orchestral tour, which includes performances in select cities across the United States, with each stop featuring an orchestra native to that area.
