THE SHERATON CADWELL GROUP OF MUSIC PROFESSIONALS/ SHERATON CADWELL ORCHESTRAS (SCO) Incorporated in 1991, the SCO has an international cast and perspective. Professionally managed and staffed by over 100 talented vocalists and musicians from Canada, the United Kingdom, USA, South America, Europe, Japan and Asia, the SCO is on the fast track to achieving in a fraction of the time what most musical organizations take decades to accomplish. Generous sponsorship and experienced leadership have made it possible for this unique organization to achieve world-class standards with its boutique big bands and other smaller ensembles, including the Toronto Starlight Orchestra (www.starlightorchestra.ca), the Wyndham Regency Orchestra (www.wyndhamregency.com), the Philips Westin Orchestra (www.philipswestin.com), Orchestra Copacabana (www.atthecopa.ca), the Casablanca Orchestra (www.clubcasablanca.ca) and the Sheraton Cadwell Orchestra (www.sheratoncadwell.com). Exceptions aside, artists recruited by the SCO generally have an average of at least 10 years performing experience, having been auditioned and selected for their high level of artistic flair, technical proficiency and professionalism. Artists with the SCO have an extensive repertoire of popular hits and vintage songs from the 1920s to the 1990s for almost any occasion to please the most discerning clients ... from the music of Nat King Cole, Sammy Cahn, Oscar Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Cole Porter, George & Ira Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Irving Berlin, Elton John, Henry Mancini, Hoagy Carmichael, Burt Bacharach, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stevie Wonder, Johnny Mandel, Alberto Dominguez to Louis Prima and Antonio Carlos Jobim; greatest hits by artists such as Robbie Williams, Frank Sinatra, Linda Ronstadt, James Ingram, Diana Krall, Tom Jones, Diana Schuur, Ella Fitzgerald, Natalie Cole, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, Bobby Darin, Norah Jones, Leonard Cohen, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Barry Manilow, Vanessa Williams, Bobby McFerrin, Lou Bega, John Denver, Sammy Davis Jr., Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, the Beatles, ABBA, Bee Gees and the Beach Boys; and perennial standards by the orchestras of Glenn Miller, Stan Kenton, Artie Shaw, Harry James, Benny Goodman, Maynard Ferguson, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Buddy Rich, Herb Alpert, Nelson Riddle, Sammy Nestico, Chuck Mangione, Tito Puente and Arturo Sandoval. Shows are typically tightly-paced presentations by a tapestry of fabulous vocal artists for up to over 4 hours of non-stop musical entertainment, with no rest breaks! Subject to change without notice, SCO's dance/big bands this season will be showcasing what many are saying are some of the most engaging vocal artists to date for any big band! The SCO is pleased to present Leigh Graham (www.leighgraham.com), Lisa Levy ( www.lisalevy.ca), Angus Dirnbeck, Elisa Gold (www.elisagold.com), Susanna Yanivker, Lisa Budd, Rick Levine, Hilary Weaver and 14-year old KALYA (www.kalya.ca). SCO's artists have entertained heads of state, diplomats, dignitaries, VIPs and audiences in the thousands, with more significant commissions than most of the best of dance/big bands over the last 2 seasons in Toronto's highly competitive music industry. Whether it is a romancing soloist, intimate duet, sassy trio, classical string quartet, jazz quintet, latin combo, swinging big band or grand ballroom dance orchestra, performances have characteristically been described as professional, warm, lively and engaging. Over $200,000 has been invested over the last 5 years in the best available sound & recording equipment and other logistics to ensure that all orchestras under SCO's management continue to be among the most well-equipped entertainers in the industry. Equipment list includes the finest high-end audio gear such as Roland VS-2480CD workstations, Genelec 8040A
monitors, Sony MDR 7509 headphones, Monster Power Conditioner PRO 2500 and Blue Kiwi quad cables; vintage microphones like the limited edition AKG C 414 LTD, Neumann TLM 49 and TLM 103; the world's quietest
microphones, the Rode NT1-A and NT2-A; specialty microphones such as the Audix D-6, Earthworks high definition SR30 matched pair, Blue Baby Bottle, Blueberry, CAD E-300, Sontronics SIGMA and Royer's flagship, the R-121; a
broad selection of high quality tube and solid state preamps such as the Universal Audio Solo 610, Rupert Neve Portico 5016, Mackie Onyx 800R, Focusrite OctoPre LE and Presonus Digimax FS. To date, the SCO has helped to raise over $1.5 million for charitable and humanitarian projects.
