Pink Martini Lights Up Cincinnati

Pink Martini brings their signature "little orchestra" sound to Cincinnati with a performance that spans classical, Latin, traditional pop, and jazz. Founded by pianist Thomas Lauderdale in Portland, the band is known for its multilingual repertoire, with co-lead vocalists China Forbes and Storm Large singing in over 15 languages. Attendees can expect a musical journey that moves from a samba parade to a French music hall, as the band describes it—a truly global experience.

The group's live shows typically feature 10 to 12 musicians performing on concert stages alongside symphony orchestras. With a history of playing at venues like the Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Pink Martini brings a polished and engaging show. Their performances are known for their inclusive, celebratory atmosphere, blending sophisticated arrangements with accessible melodies.

This concert continues the band's tradition of offering a "musical travelogue," showcasing the diversity of their influences and the skill of their musicians. Their debut album Sympathique was nominated for Song of the Year in France, and the band has performed with over 50 orchestras worldwide.
