Tori Amos has announced the North American leg of her Night of Hunters Tour with Philadelphia performance at the Academy of Music on December 1, 2011 at 7:30pm. The tour is in support of her album Night of Hunters, scheduled to be released September 2011 (Deutsche Grammophon). The iconic, platinum-selling singer-songwriter continues her legacy of ground-breaking recordings with this 21st century song cycle inspired by select classical pieces spanning the last 400 years.

With Night of Hunters, Amos carries on the classical tradition of variations on a theme: taking inspiration from classical forms to create a bold new work while paying tribute to the mastery of the original compositions.  The 15 city Night of Hunters North American Tour kicks off on November 29 at the Cobb Energy Performance Arts Center in Atlanta, Georgia and concludes at the Verizon Theatre at Grand Prairie in Dallas, Texas on December 22.

Tickets for Tori Amos range from $39.50 to $59.50, and can be purchased by calling 215-893-1999, online at www.kimmelcenter.org, or at the Kimmel Center box office, which is open daily from 10am to 6pm and later on performance evenings. (Additional fees may apply.)

With more than 12 million albums sold and multiple Grammy nominations, Tori Amos is one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation. A pioneer across multiple platforms, she was the first major label artist to offer a single for download, has had her songs turned into graphic novels, and has produced groundbreaking videos throughout her career. She is renowned for her passionate and broad fan-base, her critically and commercially successful tours, and her ever evolving live show. Ms. Amos is also a noted humanitarian and co-founder of RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network), which is the United States’ largest anti-sexual assault organization.
