Pink Martini - 30th Anniversary Tour 2025

For exactly 30 years, Pink Martini has taken us on exhilarating journeys full of swing and elegance. "Pink Martini is a spirited round-the-world adventure." This is how pianist, band founder, and leader Thomas M. Lauderdale aptly describes his unique international orchestra project. And indeed: The 14-member formation with the charismatic lead singer China Forbes has filled concert halls from North and South America to New Zealand and Australia, and across Asia and Europe since its founding in 1994. Additionally, Pink Martini collaborates with stars and orchestras from around the world, singing in English and Arabic, Spanish and Japanese, Portuguese and Modern Greek, and so on and so forth. On the album "Get Happy," released in 2013, they sing in nine languages.

Pink Martini offers a daring mix of jazz (mainly swing), world music, cabaret, lounge, and film music from the 1940s and 1950s, with influences ranging from Cole Porter and Duke Ellington to the French icon Edith Piaf, and Latin greats like Xavier Cugat, Beny Moré, and Tito Puente. They have also been inspired by music from all over the world, including French chanson, Afro-Cuban salsa, Argentine tango, Brazilian samba and bossa nova, Italian folklore, Greek rembetiko, music from the Middle East, and Asian music.

Beneath a subtly maintained surface, sometimes old-fashioned but always glamorous, the music of Pink Martini bursts with humor and cheeky imagination. The American band, founded in Portland (Oregon), was discovered in France in 1997 after being invited to a stylish showcase at the Cannes Festival. At that time, the voice of China Forbes radiated a jazzy charm that made the distinct title "Sympathique" the song of the year in France, later giving its name to the platinum-selling album. Global, yet with a rare intimacy with their audience, Pink Martini is one of a kind under this sun, and on May 17, for the grand-glamorous jazz fest finale 2025 exclusively in Rottweil!
