WORLD MUSIC THAT'S SHAKIN'...AND STIRRED WITH A TWIST

Pink Martini performs with the NSO Pops!

Somewhere between a 1930s Cuban dance orchestra, a classical chamber music ensemble, a Brazilian marching band, and Japanese film noir is Pink Martini. Comprised of vocals, percussion, strings, and brass, this unique 12-member band describes themselves as "musical archeologists," combining intoxicating melodies and rhythms from around the globe. Variety calls them "impressive...charming and elegant." They make their NSO debut with a fascinating multilingual program filled with energy and soul--so come, relax, and sip the refreshing sounds of Pink Martini! Program:
