In a statement on their website, the band said the concert will feature arrangements by Antony and the Johnsons and classical composer Nico Muhly.

The Rome show, which is one of just two orchestral performances the band have scheduled in Italy, will give fans a chance to enjoy the group's atmospheric music and the unique voice of their lead singer.
 
Hegarty rose to prominence with the release of the second Antony and the Johnsons album, I Am a Bird Now.
 
The LP, which featured guest vocals from the likes of Lou Reed and Rufus Wainwright, received rave reviews and won the 2005 Mercury Prize.
