PINK MARTINI

Now in their 29th year, Pink Martini has been enchanting audiences worldwide with their unique blend of Latin, big band, classical, and Golden Age of Hollywood-inspired tunes.

Founded in 1994 by the visionary bandleader and pianist, Thomas M. Lauderdale, Pink Martini began as a beacon of beauty and inclusivity for progressive fundraisers and galas. Their style, a harmonious blend of global influences, quickly caught the attention of music enthusiasts everywhere. The addition of the mesmerizing China Forbes, Lauderdale’s friend from their Harvard days, as the lead singer, only added to the band’s allure.

Their groundbreaking album, “Sympathique,” released in 1997, set them on a path to international acclaim. This “little orchestra” has since graced the stages of iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and the Hollywood Bowl, singing in over 20 languages and connecting cultures through music.

With ten studio albums under their belt and numerous side projects on their label, Heinz Records, Pink Martini remains a testament to the power of music to unite and inspire. Proudly hailing from Oregon, they continue to be a beacon of artistic excellence as they just released a new album.
