Pink Martini, the "little big orchestra" from Portland, are coming to the "Marios Tokas" Municipal Garden Theater on July 14 to treat us to their intoxicating cocktail of classical sounds, Latin, traditional pop and jazz tunes at a dazzling summer party.
The multimember ensemble with the captivating China Forbes on vocals offers something for all musical tastes, which is why they are still one of the best-selling acts on the world music scene.
Each of their performances is a captivating mix of explosive stage presence, classic Hollywood storytelling and rousing rhythms from all corners of the globe, all wrapped in their trademark sophisticated musical atmosphere.
Pink Martini are so versatile that they can hardly be classified into a musical genre. It's jazz, or lounge, or fusion or all at the same time. At the end of the day, they have the secret recipe for the perfect marriage of different genres resulting in their unique musical idiom.
ΒΙΟ
In 1994, Thomas Lauderdale was working as a political aid in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, with aspirations of running for office himself. Like other wannabe politicians in training, he went to every political fundraiser under the sun… but was disappointed with the music he heard at those events. Drawing inspiration from music from around the world – but also from the genres of classical, jazz, and old-fashioned pop – and hoping to appeal to both conservatives and liberals, he founded the "little orchestra" Pink Martini. The orchestra was originally intended to provide beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraising for causes such as human rights, affordable housing, environmental action, library funding, education and parks.
A year later, Lauderdale called China Forbes, a classmate of his from Harvard living in New York, and asked her to join Pink Martini. The rest is history.
Known for their multilingual repertoire that includes songs in 25 languages and having been inducted into the Hollywood Bowl Hall of Fame and the Oregon Music Hall of Fame, Pink Martini are celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2024 with a tour that will stop in Limassol for an enchanting performance at the "Marios Tokas" Municipal Garden Theater on July 14.
