Three reasons why you should get your tickets today
- A party for the ages: "Pink Martini’s live show conjures a fantasy of ageless glamor” (Jazztimes). This multi-genre and multi-cultural experience for music lovers of all ages is a joyful party that gets people up out of their seats and sometimes even dancing down the aisles in a conga line.
- Diverse and multilingual program: Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world — crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop — and featuring a dozen musicians with songs in 25 languages, a Pink Martini concert is unlike any other. “Pink Martini do more than just rehash their influence; by dabbling in different sounds that they love, they’ve come up with their own” (AllMusic).
- Acclaimed vocalist China Forbes: Fronting the orchestra and writing many of its songs, China Forbes brings style and sophistication to the stage. She recently received the Montreal Jazz Festival’s Ella Fitzgerald Award, presented annually to a jazz singer of significant talent who has had a major impact and influence on the international scene.
