Dan Fontaine & His Orchestra
Dan Fontaine & His Orchestra bring a lush cinematic sound reminiscent of the 60s and 70s into the 21st century, combining contemporary beats with a retro symphonic sound. Twinkling piano, sweeping violins, and luxuriant horns, Dan Fontaine & His Orchestra exude sophistication and glamour from a bygone era.
Dan Fontaine is one of Australia’s most sought after composers, musical directors and virtuoso percussionists. A graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium Of Music, Fontaine has amassed millions of Youtube views and international acclaim with his various projects. Working with some of the world’s top musicians, Fontaine’s collaboration with famed choreographer Travis Wall for the US Dancing With The Stars earned the performance an Emmy Nomination.
Influenced by such jazz and bossa masters as Henry Mancini, Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Donato and Claus Ogerman, Dan Fontaine has reached a big audience all over the world, and is now developing some projects with Brazil's legendary bossa nova producer and jazz impressario Arnaldo DeSouteiro, founder of the LA-based label Jazz Station Records (JSR).
