[:en]\u201cAmbitious, cleverly arranged, dense with possible meaning– and, yes, a little strange\u201d \u2013 <\/em>Pitchfork<\/p>\n

All the way from Mississauga, Canada, we are thrilled to present a special Beijing gig for Owen Pallett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He’s a violinist and composer of gorgeous, dizzying songs; soaring violins creating loops that pull listeners into his fantasy world. His take on indie-pop is intricate and layered. Pallett\u2019s compositions are universes in miniature, worth exploring time and time again.Case in point: His score for Spike Jonze\u2019s Her,<\/em>nominated for an Oscar in 2014.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winner of the inaugural Polaris Music Prize, Pallett has a long and illustrious back catalogue under both his birth name and as \u2018Final Fantasy\u2019, his previous moniker. He\u2019s worked with Arcade Fire, Mika, The National, Franz Ferdinand and countless others, ranging from forceful krautrock and brutal prog to serene neo-classical compositions.<\/p>\n

On stage, Pallett is \u201cmoody, majestic, cosmic.\u201d Finding \u201cbeauty in a blizzard of sound.\u201d [The Guardian].<\/em>Leading the audience into uncharted musical waters and strange new worlds.<\/p>\n

Sunday 23 April2017<\/strong> at Beijing\u2019sYugong Yishan. <\/strong>Expect avant-garde orchestral pop at its finest, delivered with quirky, pointed humour.<\/p>\n

Owen Pallett\u2019s glittering career has been punctuated with collaborations with the likes of Arcade Fire, The National, Mika, Jim Guthrie, Linkin Park and more.He\u2019s also worked with The National Ballet of Canada, The Vancouver CBC Orchestra, and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra on commissions.<\/p>\n

Pallett has released four solo albums. 2005\u2019s Has A Good Home <\/em>and 2006\u2019s He Poos Clouds, <\/em>released under the \u2018Final Fantasy\u2019 moniker, were playful and irreverent. But it was 2010\u2019s Heartland<\/em> and 2014\u2019s In Conflict<\/em> that established his name as a virtuoso contemporary artist and composer. His music forthe science fiction hitHer<\/em>, for which he received an Academy Award nomination,brought his style into mainstream consciousness.<\/p>\n

Like that film, Pallett confronts you with the beauty of our own world and makes you believe in the magical existence of others.<\/p>\n

April23<\/strong>in Beijing at Yugong Yishan<\/strong>.Guaranteed to prove an enduring highlight of 2017.<\/p>\n
