Why see Pink Martini?
A 'little orchestra'
Pink Martini are the brainchild of Thomas Lauderdale, who in the early 1990s was thinking of running for Mayoral office. But he slowly became frustrated and fascinated by the musical entertainment during political society events. So he formed Pink Martini to address this and make music that appeals to everyone, from liberals to conservatives, all over the world. Over 20 years later, they're still going strong!
Sympathique and beyond
Since releasing their first single, Sympathique, they have recorded 8 studio albums and collaborated with artists as diverse as Gus Van Sant, The Von Trapp family, to Sesame Street. It's impossible to not be motivated by their distinct classical, Latin and jazz-infused output with multilingual lyrics. They are truly a band that can be enjoyed all over the world.

Pink Martini at Boston Symphony Hall
WOW WOW WOW!! What a fantastic show. The entire symphony hall was packed, tight. Somehow, with all those hundreds of people, Pink Martini made it feel like we were all sitting in a small club together just having some fun. It was a masterful and fun and raucous and sweet kind of show. Can’t count how many languages we heard. That band is just astounding. And there was China, in a billowy, flowy, gloriously red gown just belting out songs, beautiful voice. She’s really an entertainer.
And what really was icing on the cake was having Ari Shapiro (from NPR) on stage, looking about 7 feet tall, and singing full throated songs he helped write (?) in three different languages with Pink Martini. I had no idea he was at times part of the band. And decorations on the icing on the cake? The two guest vocalists who were other worldly.
Every musical group in our little corner of France (Occitanie) plays Sympatique every time they perform. We all know the words.

Simply amazing!!!
After seeing Pink Martini at a private wedding in downtown Portland Oregon I was hooked and had been following them ever since. Both my wife and I were thrilled to have had the opportunity to see them at least nights show. 3/22/23 at the Dr Philips Performing arts center for the first time. We were not disappointed. They performed all of the favorites and had the place rocking towards the end. Thomas Lauderdale spoke a little too fast for most of us to understand. He's just a fast talker. China was on point and the musicians were fantastic in every way.
Can't wait to see them again. Brilliant Band. ... Read more
