ABOUT STING
Composer, singer-songwriter, actor, and activist Sting was born in Newcastle, England, and rose to global prominence as a founding member of The Police, whose five studio albums earned six Grammy Awards and an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
As a solo artist, Sting has established himself as one of the world’s most distinctive and acclaimed voices. His body of work has earned 11 additional Grammy Awards, two Brit Awards, a Golden Globe, an Emmy Award, four Academy Award nominations, a Tony Award nomination, Billboard’s Century Award, and MusiCares’ Person of the Year honor. He is also a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors, the American Music Award of Merit, and the Polar Music Prize.
Throughout his illustrious career, Sting, managed by Martin Kierszenbaum/Cherrytree Music Company, has sold more than 100 million albums combined with The Police and as a solo artist. He is currently touring globally with his electrifying “STING 3.0” trio, joined by guitarist Dominic Miller and drummer Chris Maas. 
Sting’s creative reach spans music, theater, and film; including his Broadway debut in The Threepenny Opera (1989) and international collaborations such as 2008’s Welcome to the Voice in Paris alongside Elvis Costello, while his original musical The Last Ship—inspired by his shipbuilding hometown of Wallsend—earned a Tony Award nomination. This year, he starred in in a newly adapted version of The Last Ship, portraying Jackie White, the shipyard foreman at the story’s center, for an international series of multi-night runs in Amsterdam, Paris, Brisbane, at the famed Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, followed by a return to Amsterdam and concluded in London’s West End. He has also appeared in more than 15 films and produced A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints.
Sting’s support for human rights organizations such as the Rainforest Fund, Amnesty International, and Live Aid mirrors his art in its universal outreach. Along with wife Trudie Styler, Sting founded the Rainforest Fund in 1989 to protect the world’s rainforests and support indigenous communities around the world.
ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH: LIVE AT THE RIJKSMUSEUM
Sting releases The Night Watch: Live at the Rijksmuseum, a twelve-track live album capturing his breathtaking performance at one of the world's great cultural landmarks. Recorded inside Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum — home to Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Judith Leyster — the album documents an evening unlike any other in Sting's celebrated career.
Performing in the museum’s Gallery of Honor among paintings built on dramatic contrasts between light and shadow, Sting brings that same sensibility to his song choices: intimate ballads & classic hits; allowing the room’s natural acoustics to carry these delicate moments. Just as Rembrandt was celebrated for his expressive textures and ability to capture the raw and vulnerable emotions of his subjects, Sting's performance here carries an equivalent emotional weight —his are intimate portrayals of love, loss, labor, and longing, each rendered with the care of a painter who knows that what you leave out matters as much as what you put in.
Sting sees a close connection between songs and paintings. Ultimately, it's about telling stories. "The longer you look at a painting, the more you discover in it. It's the same with a song – the more often you hea
