Owen Pallett

‘Live shows that compress all the wonder and virtuosity of an illusionist's routine into a three-and-a-half-minute pop song.' The New York Times

Composer, violinist and vocalist Owen Pallett blends electro-pop with intricately layered orchestral flourishes to create epic compositions, ringing with warmth and emotion.

Pallett has released three albums (the first two under the name Final Fantasy), one of which netted him the Polaris Music Prize - Canada's version of the UK's Mercury Prize. He has written string and orchestral arrangements for Arcade Fire, The Mountain Goats and Pet Shop Boys, and toured extensively with The National.

Armed with a loop-pedal, keyboard and violin, Pallett will deliver an evening of bite-sized symphonies.
