"If life is a cabaret, Pink Martini is the band in the existential orchestra pit." - CMJ New Music Monthly
Somewhere between a 1930s Cuban dance orchestra, a classical chamber music ensemble, a Brazilian marching street band and Japanese film noir is the 12-piece Pink Martini.
Part language lesson, part Hollywood musical, the Portland, Oregon-based little orchestra" was created in 1994 by Harvard graduate and classically trained pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale to play at political fundraisers for progressive causes such as civil rights, affordable housing and public broadcasting. Now, Pink Martini is performing its romantic, multi-lingual repertoire on concert stages and with the world's most important orchestras, including the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and has garnered worldwide acclaim and boundless hipster status with its latest release, Hang on Little Tomato.
