A 'Little Orchestra'

Pink Martini is the brainchild of Thomas Lauderdale, who in the early 1990s was thinking of running for mayor. But he slowly became frustrated by the politics and found himself fascinated by the musical entertainment during society events. So he formed Pink Martini to address this and make music that appeals to everyone, from liberals to conservatives, all over the world. Over 20 years later, they're still going strong!

Sympathique and beyond

Since releasing their first single, Sympathique, they have recorded 8 studio albums and collaborated with artists as diverse as Gus Van Sant, The Von Trapp family, and Sesame Street. It's impossible not to be motivated by their distinct classical, Latin, and jazz-infused output with multilingual lyrics. They are truly a band that can be enjoyed all over the world.
