ABOUT PINK MARTINI “Pink Martini is a rollicking around-the-world musical adventure… if the United Nations had a house band in 1962, hopefully we’d be that band.” – Thomas Lauderdale, bandleader/pianist. Featuring a dozen musicians, with songs in 25 languages, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages on six continents. After making its European debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in 1998, the band has gone on to play with more than 50 orchestras around the world.

Il s’agit d’une œuvre complète, qui illustre l’appétit créatif de Thomas Lauderdale, fondateur du groupe, depuis 15 ans: en plus d’of- frir une perspective originale sur le passé d’un groupe devenu aujourd’hui incontournable, elle comprend 7 morceaux inédits (dont «Moon River», en duo avec Gus Van Sant). Savant mé- lange de sonorités et de cultures de tous horizons, la musique de Pink Martini est un cocktail à déguster sans modération. L’aventure Pink Martini débute en 1994, dans l’Oregon. Origi- nellement centré autour de Thomas M. Lauderdale et China Forbes, le groupe aux inspirations et collaborations multiples chante en anglais, français, mais aussi espagnol, italien, japo- nais, croate… Leur style musical, éclectique, passe «d’une samba digne d’une parade à Rio de Janeiro à la musique d’un cabaret français des années 30 ou d’un palais napolitain, un peu comme une sorte de voyage musical urbain», d’après les mots de Thomas Lauderdale. «On essaye de créer une sorte de char- mant environnement musical, dont on peut augmenter ou bais- ser le volume, et jouer en toute occasion, ou presque: musique d’ambiance, aventure amoureuse ou quand on passe l’aspira- teur chez soi!».

The company and band reprise their performance this fall. (Blaine Truitt Covert) By Amy Wang | The Oregonian/OregonLive Oregon Ballet Theatre’s 2017‑18 season opener has the feel of an all‑star lineup. Oregon Ballet Theatre's resident choreographer, Nicolo Fonte. (Heidi Williams/Staff) Leading off is George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” arguably one of the best‑known and best‑loved American compositions ever. Performing the piece in a world‑premiere performance will be two of Oregon’s most respected pianists, Thomas Lauderdale and Hunter Noack. Lauderdale’s popular Portland band, Pink Martini, comes onstage in the second half of the program to reprise its 2014 collaboration with the ballet company, “Never Stop Falling (in Love).” Tying it all together is choreography by Nicolo Fonte, in his second season as Oregon Ballet’s resident choreographer, whose work has been performed nationally and internationally. Oregon Ballet Theatre dancers rehearse the number "Never Stop Falling (in Love)" for the company's season opener. (Amy Wang/Staff) Fonte promises a joyful, exuberant program (the exuberance shone through clearly at a recent rehearsal). Here are eight things to know about Oregon Ballet Theatre’s season opener.

  • BIOGRAPHY in 1994 in His Hometown of Portland, Oregon, Thomas Lauderdale Was Working in Politics, Thinking That One Day He Would Run for Mayor
    BIOGRAPHY In 1994 in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, Thomas Lauderdale was working in politics, thinking that one day he would run for mayor. Like other eager politicians-in- training, he went to every political fundraiser under the sun… but was dismayed to find the music at these events underwhelming, lackluster, loud and un-neighborly. Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world – crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop – and hoping to appeal to conservatives and liberals alike, he founded the “little orchestra” Pink Martini in 1994 to provide more beautiful and inclusive musical soundtracks for political fundraisers for causes such as civil rights, affordable housing, the environment, libraries, public broadcasting, education and parks. One year later, Lauderdale called China Forbes, a Harvard classmate who was living in New York City, and asked her to join Pink Martini. They began to write songs together. Their first song “Sympathique” became an overnight sensation in France, was nominated for “Song of the Year” at France’s Victoires de la Musique Awards, and to this day remains a mantra (“Je ne veux pas travailler” or “I don’t want to work”) for striking French workers. Says Lauderdale, “We’re very much an American band, but we spend a lot of time abroad and therefore have the incredible diplomatic opportunity to represent a broader, more inclusive America… the America which remains the most heterogeneously populated country in the world… composed of people of every country, every language, every religion.” Featuring a dozen musicians, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America and North America.
