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.

Awesome, upbeat, international orchestra!
We saw the Pink Martini Orchestra last night at the Galveston Opera House. They rocked the house with songs in many different languages, even in Japanese. Paris Forbes, singer song writer, wrote awesome , upbeat, international songs in many languages. Paris’ diction allowed me to hear every word and follow the bard. Each member of the orchestra was talented beyond words. We will look to see the Pink Martini Orchestra again. ... Read more
