Orchesography is the seventh studio album by English new wave band Wang Chung. It consists of the band's greatest hits re-recorded with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
After producing the orchestral albums Orchestral for Visage and Ascension for A Flock of Seagulls, record label August Day decided to continue on the orchestral route by approaching fellow 80s band Wang Chung. Orchesography was released on 31 May 2019 on both CD and digital download formats. On 26 March, a 5-track EP was released for the song "Dance Hall Days" which features the band's re-recording with the orchestra, three remixes from other artists, and one "orcapella" (an orchestral a cappella). A music video was also recorded.
On 10 May, a limited edition box set was released that included four CDs: the main Orchesography album, a vocal and orchestral only CD, a CD containing only the orchestra, and a CD containing non-orchestral remixes of the album tracks. Also included are two CD singles: a 5-track EP of "Dance Hall Days" and an 8-track EP of "Everybody Have Fun Tonight".
