Pink Martini on Tour
A massive collective with a rotating membership that's been active since the early 1990s, Pink Martini are a little orchestra that knows no stylistic bounds. Playing classical and jazz, Latin and pop, what threads their performances together is a lighthearted, jazzy vibe that basically demands you move along with it. Pink Martini have performed with over 50 orchestras in cities around the world, from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony to the BBC Concert Orchestra. Their first live breakthrough came at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997, while their orchestral debut came in 1998 with the Oregon Symphony. The ensemble played several New Year's Eve concerts at L.A.'s Walt Disney Concert Hall across the 2000s and early 2010s, and they've performed multiple sold-out concerts at New York's Carnegie Hall. Their live performance at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in Portland, Oregon, was aired live on NPR and eventually released in 2009 as a live CD/DVD called Discover the World. The group have also graced late-night talk show stages, including Conan O'Brien, David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Pink Martini in Concert
Started by pianist Thomas Lauderdale in Portland, Oregon, in 1994 as an alternative to the event-based ensembles he'd grown tired of playing in, Pink Martini quickly attracted hugely talented musicians like China Forbes and Storm Large. Their first album, Sympathique, charted in Belgium, France and Switzerland and was certified gold in Greece, while the album's eponymous single was nominated for Song of the Year at France's Victoires de la Musique awards. Pink Martini's 2004 sophomore album, Hang On Little Tomato, charted at No. 25 on the U.S. Billboard 200, and went 2x platinum in France, also earning gold status in Canada, Germany and Greece. The group has released numerous lauded albums since, including their hugely popular A Retrospective in 2011, which contained 21 tracks from their career and charted at No. 7 on U.S. Billboard's Top Jazz Albums.

They are always at their best when playing on their own, but as always are one of the best when playing with an orchestra. Only Perlman interacts as well with audiance and orchestra while performing at such a high level resulting in a rich and entertaing evening of great music.
The concert was the best event of the year. China sang beautifully and the symphony added even more dimension to the group. I can't wait to see them again for the third time.
They are an amazing ,energetic , talented group of performers. I await their return to San Antonio.
The incredible quality of the music, the singers, the selections....transcendent and unforgettable!!!!
I have been a Pink Martini fan for may years now, and saw them 2 years ago in the Magestic, San Antonio, Texas, it was a wonderful show , unfortunally, this time around in Lila Cockrell Theater, the sound was extremelly poor, so poor that we left after just a few songs, and I lost my joy for Pink Martini.
I absolutely can't wait for the new ablum to come out now!!! The show was excellent & the Brazilian dancing cello player was amazing!!! Thanks for a wonderful experience.
One of the best shows to come to San Antonio. I have been to their last two shows and cannot wait for the next one.
This is one concert my family never misses. Not only is the music fabulous beyond words but the musicians make the affair seem so personal and intimate by the way they interact with the audience. Thomas Lauderdale seems to genuinely love San Antonio and has made time to grow some personal friendships. That too adds to the feeling that I've been to a family reunion (with VERY special family members). I love watching Lauderdale play the piano because it is so obvious that he loves what he is doing.
Love their music, very upbeat and exiciting. The mix if songs kept you interested and some involved.
I am a big Pink Martini fan. Singingalong and all. But this venue was SO BIG that the aching rhythms that make us get up and dance in the aisles was lost. Seems like a few (2) members were absent also. Symphony was good accompanying them.
The forth time to see them in concert and still amazed.
