This top-notch group of musicians has rocked onstage with John Oates, Eddie Money (R.I.P.), and both versions of the band Player.

Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world— crossing genres of classical, jazz, and old-fashioned pop— Thomas Lauderdale founded the “little orchestra” Pink Martini in 1994. Featuring a dozen musicians with songs in 25 languages, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout the world.

Says Thomas: “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. Except for Native Americans, all of us are immigrants from every country, of every language, of every religion.”
