Pink Martini just added!
'Pink Martini is like a romantic Hollywood musical of the 1940s or 50s – but with a global perspective which is modern,' says founder and artistic director Thomas M. Lauderdale. 'We bring melodies and rhythms from different parts of the world together to create something which is new and beautiful.'
The mini-orchestra will perform at The Rialto Theatre on May 14, 2008, and reserved seating tickets are on sale now.
A few more press snippets about this incredible band:
This is rich, hugely approachable music, utterly cosmopolitan yet utterly unpretentious. And it seems to speak to just about everybody.
-Stephen Brookes, WASHINGTON POST
From a serendipitous start, Pink Martini’s eclectic repertoire, alluring performances, and top-notch orchestrations have proven an irresistible mix.
-James McQuillen, SYMPHONY Magazine
Led by Harvard graduate and classically trained pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale, the band moves gracefully between such genres as Cuban rumbas and French café tunes.
-THE NEW YORKER
