Annie Clark, aka renowned singer/guitarist St. Vincent, played Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, as part of her recent short tour playing with local symphonies across the US, joining a list of recent acts to reimagine their songs in an orchestral setting. Previously, acts like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Queens of the Stone Age graced the SF symphony hall (and singer Andrew Bird played with the symphony the night after St. Vincent), and like those acts, St. Vincent was up to the task. Along with the orchestra, headed up by guest conductor Jules Buckley, the sold-out house was treated to reimagined versions of favorites like “Violent Times, “Digital Witness,” Los Ageless,” and “New York,” which she performed standing on an audience member’s seat.
