Join Dominic directly after the Friday night Ravinia concert June 7th at Midnight for an intimate evening at the 200 seat Chopin Theater in Chicago. This is a mind blowing opportunity to experience the mystery of the man behind Sting's enormous success. Together Dominic and Sting have recorded 8 albums, performed over 1,200 concerts, and co-written and arranged songs, including songs like "Shape of my Heart" and "Fields of Gold'. In his early career he worked with Julia Fordham, Phil Collins and The Pretenders, which is what led Sting to seek him out in 1990. His massive contribution since then includes work with Peter Gabriel, Level 42, Tina Turner, Placido Domingo, Rod Stewart, Steve Winwood, Youssou N'Dour Luciano Pavarotti and Pat Metheny to name just a few...

The Daily Telegraph's James Collard meets Sting, a rock star, environmental activist and long-time Indophile, in Jodhpur of north-west India, to support the Maharaja's head injuries charity. To find the Grammy-award-winning singer in Jodhpur's Mehrangarh Fort is not entirely surprising. It is no secret that over the years Sting and Trudie have been fascinated by all things Indian - from Hinduism and sitar music to yoga and tantric sex. Sting himself has been coming here for more than three decades, sometimes to celebrate New Year in Goa, sometimes to camp in the Thar Desert outside Jaisalmer, sometimes to join pilgrims visiting the holy headwaters of the Yumuna and Ganges rivers. On occasion he has even brought his two children. "I've been lucky enough to share it with my family, and now my children love it as much as I do," he says...

Quite a night for Nancy Hunt and Nile Rodgers’ We Are Family Foundation: they finally got to honor Sting and Trudie Styler for their work with the Rainforest Foundation, postponed from last October 31st - remember that date? It was Hurricane Sandy. The reboot turned into a wild night of fantastic music as Sting, "Soul Man" Sam Moore fresh his White House PBS gig, and Nile Rodgers with Chic rocked the Manhattan Ballroom for an invited audience. Styler first spoke so eloquently about the work of both foundations. It was lovely...

''...Sting's 75-minute set was an enticing combination of solo and Police hits - he opened with 'If I Ever Lose My Faith in You' and 'Demolition Man', stalking the stage with pursed lips as he thumped out his bass lines - and more obscure gems such as 'Hounds of Winter'. Even in such a mainstream setting, Sting educated the audience with challenging music provided by his own abilities and those of his band, including longtime guitarist Dominic Miller and newer addition Peter Tickell, a wonder on violin. At 61, Sting is still able to command the big notes on 'Message in a Bottle', though 'De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da' was slightly modified for key and, perhaps, to keep things interesting for the band...''
