Pink Martini

BIOGRAPHY
Part language lesson, part Hollywood spectacle, the Portland, Oregon-based ‘little orchestra’ was founded in 1994 by Thomas M. Lauderdale, a Harvard graduate and classically trained pianist, to play political fundraisers for progressive causes such as civil rights, the environment, affordable housing and public broadcasting. Fronted by diva-next-door lead singer, China Forbes, Pink Martini has grown from four musicians to its current twelve, and has gone on to perform its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Japan, Australia, Canada and the United States.
