Orchestrated Series: Dragonette with Tiny Sun

  • Koerner Hall 273 Bloor Street West Toronto, ON, M5S 1W2 Canada (map)

Pop singer-songwriter Dragonette, film composer Jonathan Goldsmith, and The Henrys frontman Don Rooke put their distinctive musical backgrounds together to form a genre-blurring trio united by the playful constraint of crafting songs under two minutes.

Martina Sorbara, better known as the electro-pop outfit Dragonette, has lived multiple musical lifetimes over the past 15 years. A Juno Award-winning artist and sought-after songwriter, Sorbara has scored numerous global hits, including "Pick Up the Phone," "Let it Go," and the chart-topping "Hello" with Martin Solveig. She has collaborated with the world's biggest DJs (Basement Jaxx, Kaskade, and Galantis, among others) and released four acclaimed albums, including the Juno nominated Fixin to Thrill and Bodyparts. Along the way, Dragonette has headlined shows across the globe, supported the likes of Duran Duran, New Order, Ke$ha, and Mike Snow, and played to thousands of fans at Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival, Glastonbury, and Lollapalooza.

Part of the Temerty Orchestral Program at The Glenn Gould School (GGS), the Royal Conservatory Orchestra (RCO) is widely regarded as an outstanding ensemble and one of the best training orchestras in North America. It consists of instrumental students in the undergraduate and graduate programs of The Glenn Gould School. Graduates of the RCO have joined the ranks of the greatest orchestras in the world.
