About the Event

Pink Martini deliver beloved songs from around the globe, and a dash of holiday music to celebrate the season. Led by bandleader Thomas Lauderdale who will be joined by vocalist China Forbes, the “little orchestra” draws inspiration from music all over the world, crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop. As Lauderdale once said, “If the United Nations had a house band in 1962, hopefully we’d be that band.” This performance will feature tracks from their phenomenal holiday album, Joy to the World, which features chestnuts like “White Christmas” alongside Hebrew prayers, Chinese New Year tunes and a samba-inspired version of “Auld Lang Syne”, as well as fan favorite non holiday songs spanning the band’s 25 year career.
