 A\, 98632 United States (map) Google Calendar ICS “This is rich\, hugely a
 pproachable music\, utterly cosmopolitan yet utterly unpretentious. And it
  seems to speak to just about everybody … ” –The Washington PostSponsored 
 by Now in its 31st year\, the unstoppable engine of joy that is Pink Marti
 ni continues to bring founder Thomas Lauderdale’s mission of multi-cultura
 l connection and inclusion to concert stages on six continents. Presenting
  a mélange of catchy old-fashioned pop\, global color\, foot-tapping big b
 and sound\, and Hollywood glamour\, Oregon’s most famous “little orchestra
 ” performs music intended to appeal to everyone regardless of age or backg
 round. Wanting an antidote to the lackluster bands playing fundraisers for
  his favorite causes\, Lauderdale had a vision to bring more beautiful and
  inclusive musical soundtracks to galas for civil rights\, affordable hous
 ing\, the environment\, libraries\, public broadcasting\, education\, and 
 parks. Drawing inspiration in music from all over the world\, and hoping t
 o appeal to conservatives and liberals alike\, he founded Pink Martini in 
 1994. A year later\, Lauderdale called China Forbes\, his friend from Harv
 ard\, and asked her to join the ensemble\; she relocated to Portland to be
 come the band’s first full-time lead singer\, and soon collaborated with L
 auderdale on a number of the band’s favorite original songs.As the band gr
 ew beyond its humble beginnings\, Lauderdale lovingly welcomed more and mo
 re incredible musicians into the band’s family with open arms\, creating r
 egular collaborations with a wide variety of gifted singers\, including th
 e inimitable Storm Large\, NPR’s dashing Ari Shapiro\, the soulful Edna Va
 zquez\, America’s Got Talent finalist Jimmie Herrod\, fan favorite Timothy
  Nishimoto\, and international singing sensation Meow Meow. Tickets $75/70
