British composer and singer-songwriter Stingplans to join the flood of pop artists taking an orchestral approach to their material when he makes a pair of guest appearances with the San Francisco Symphony in February.

The concerts in Davies Symphony Hall, set for Feb. 14-15, are slated to be conducted by Edwin Outwater. The set list is expected to include orchestral versions of many of the star’s most popular songs from his solo career and his time with the pioneering new wave band the Police, including “Every Breath You Take” and “Englishman in New York.”

Tickets, beginning at $75, are on sale for Symphony subscribers beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11, followed by a Sting fan presale at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 12. The general public can purchase tickets atwww.sfsymphony.combeginning at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 13.

The announcement highlights a growing list of pop artists collaborating with orchestras. British singer-songwriter Ellie Gouldinglast monthannounced three tour dates with orchestra, including one in San Francisco on Nov. 20, whileBobby Weir & Wolf Brosare scheduled to perform at Stanford’s Frost Amphitheater on Oct. 29 with the Stanford Symphony Orchestra.

The San Francisco Symphony’s concert dates for the third week in February were originally scheduled to feature a guest appearance by the British composer and conductor Thomas Adès, leading the first local performances of his Piano Concerto with soloist Kirill Gerstein. But Adès withdrew because of a scheduling conflict.

Sting, who brought his musical “最后船” to San Francisco in early 2020, was in the Bay Area recently for a one-night performance at the Concord Pavilion on Oct. 2.

Sting has won 17 Grammys with the Police and as a solo artist. He’s been nominated four times for an Oscar, and once each for an Emmy and a Tony Award.
