Published on 07/21/2026 at 16:19 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael MĂĽller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Evanescence return to the symphonic stage format with their Synthesis Live concept, blending rock band dynamics with a full orchestra for European audiences. The group led by Amy Lee combines reimagined catalog songs with new material from the studio album Synthesis, according to the band’s official announcements.
How the Synthesis Live concept works
The Synthesis Live show is built around orchestral arrangements of Evanescence’s best known songs, including pieces from Fallen and The Open Door. The band performs together with a conductor and classical musicians, adding strings, brass and woodwinds to their established rock sound.
Alongside reinterpreted hits such as Bring Me to Life and My Immortal, the concerts feature tracks originally created for Synthesis, which emphasize electronics, piano and orchestral textures. Amy Lee’s vocals are framed by detailed arrangements that were crafted with composer and producer David Campbell.
Germany as a key stop for Evanescence
A central European show for fans based in Germany was scheduled at Berlin’s Verti Music Hall, a modern arena in the Friedrichshain district that regularly hosts international acts. The performance date was set for April 8, 2018, with seats offered through local ticketing platforms.
Berlin’s role as a touring hub means that Evanescence’s orchestral production reached audiences from across Germany and neighboring countries. The venue’s design allowed for the combination of amplification and acoustic orchestral sound, which suits the hybrid concert approach of Synthesis Live.

Where Evanescence stand stylistically
Evanescence are commonly described as a rock band with strong gothic and symphonic influences, combining heavy guitar work with piano and cinematic atmospheres. Across albums like Fallen (2003), The Open Door (2006) and Evanescence (2011), they have maintained a balance between mainstream song structures and darker tones.
The Synthesis project and its associated live dates highlight the group’s interest in bridging rock with classical instrumentation. This approach situates them among acts that revisit catalog material in orchestral form, while also introducing new compositions designed from the outset for that format.
Current career status and live outlook
