SUMMARY:Pink Martini featuring China Forbes
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Featuring a dozen musicians\, with songs in 25 languages\, Pink
  Martini\nperforms its multilingual repertoire on concert stages on six\nc
 ontinents. After making its European debut at the Cannes Film\nFestival in
  1997 and its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in\n1998\, the ban
 d has gone on to play with more than 50 orchestras around\nthe world\, inc
 luding multiple engagements with the Los Angeles\nPhilharmonic at the Holl
 ywood Bowl\, the Boston Pops\, the National\nSymphony at the Kennedy Cente
 r\, the San Francisco Symphony\, and the\nBBC Concert Orchestra at Royal A
 lbert Hall in London. Pink Martini has\nreleased 11 studio albums on its o
 wn independent label Heinz Records\n(named after Lauderdale’s dog)\, sel
 ling over 3 million albums\nworldwide. In 1994\, in his hometown of Portla
 nd\, Oregon\, Thomas\nLauderdale was working in local politics when he saw
  the need for most\nengaging and inspiring music at political fundraisers.
  Drawing\ninspiration from music from all over the world — crossing genr
 es of\nclassical\, jazz and old-fashioned pop — and hoping to appeal to\
 nconservatives and liberals alike\, he founded the “little\norchestra”
  Pink Martini in 1994 to provide more beautiful and\ninclusive musical sou
 ndtracks for causes such as civil rights\,\naffordable housing\, the envir
 onment\, libraries\, public broadcasting\,\neducation and parks. One year 
 later\, Lauderdale called China Forbes\, a\nHarvard classmate living in Ne
 w York City\, and asked her to join Pink\nMartini. Their first songwriting
  collaboration was “Sympathique (Je\nne veux pas travailler)” which be
 came an overnight sensation in\nFrance\, was nominated for “Song of the 
 Year” at France’s\nVictoires de la Musique Awards and is still the ban
 d’s No. 1 song.\nIn 2024\, the band is celebrating its 30th anniversary.
  Venue: Freeman\nArts Pavilion.
