(Thousand Oaks, CA) – Now in it’s 31st year, the unstoppable engine of joy that is Pink Martini brings a mélange of catchy old-fashioned pop, global color, foot-tapping big band sound and Hollywood glamour to The Fred Kavli Theatre on Friday, March 13, 2026, at 8 PM.
Pink Martini brings their captivating fusion of pop, jazz, and classical music to the stage for a genre-defying evening of music band leader Thomas Lauderdale calls a “rollicking around-the-world-musical adventure.” Featuring a sizzling 12-piece ensemble and dazzling international repertoire, Pink Martini cuts across pop, jazz and classical genres to celebrate the world’s musical diversity with a hypnotic sound. After more than 30 years and eleven albums, the band crafted a style that is entirely unique and is hailed as an international sensation.
Featuring a dozen musicians, with songs in 25 languages, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages on six continents. The band made its European debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and its orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony the following year. Since then, Pink Martini has played with more than 75 orchestras internationally, including Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston Pops, National Symphony, San Francisco Symphony, Cleveland Orchestra, and the BBC Concert Orchestra at London’s Royal Albert Hall. Other appearances include a performance at the official post-Oscars celebration Governors Ball, four sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall, the opening party of the remodeled Museum of Modern Art in New York, multiple sellouts and a festival opening at Montreal Jazz Festival, and multiple appearances, including sellouts, at the Hollywood Bowl and Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
On its in-house label Heinz Records, Pink Martini has sold millions of albums worldwide and released over a dozen recordings. Pink Martini released the acclaimed EP Bella ciao in Spring 2025, featuring the anti-fascist title track sung by Storm Large. Early in 2026, the band will unveil its full-length collaborative release with Googoosh, and plans to have a new album out by the end of 2026
