Pink Martini
After more than three decades, the unstoppable engine of joy that is Pink Martini continues to bring founder Thomas Lauderdaleâs mission of multi-cultural connection and inclusion to concert stages on six continents. Presenting a mĂŠlange of catchy old-fashioned pop, global color, foot-tapping big band sound, and Hollywood glamour, Oregonâs most famous âlittle orchestraâ performs music intended to appeal to everyone, regardless of age or background.
Performing with a number of iconic voices including the bandâs first lead singer China Forbes, the inimitable Storm Large, NPRâs dashing Ari Shapiro, the soulful Edna Vazquez, Americaâs Got Talent finalist Jimmie Herrod, fan favorite Timothy Nishimoto, and international singing sensation Meow Meow, the âlittle orchestraâ has played on legendary concert stages around the world, including the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall in London, and Bercy Arena in Paris. Pink Martini has released over a dozen albums on its in-house label Heinz Records, including the newest EP, Bella ciao , featuring the anti-fascist title song sung by Storm Large.
âThis is rich, hugely approachable music, utterly cosmopolitan yet utterly unpretentious. And it seems to speak to just about everybody ⌠from grade-schoolers to grandmothers to the young and hip and beautiful.â âThe Washington Post 1 of 1
