Pink Martini All-Stars Present: A Season of Stars

Pink Martini, the globe-trotting “little orchestra” founded by Thomas Lauderdale, makes its debut at George Mason University’s Center for the Arts with a festive holiday show that brings triple the joy. Three of the band’s favorite singers and long-time collaborators—NPR’s Ari Shapiro, soulful vocalist Edna Vazquez, and America’s Got Talent finalist Jimmie Herrod—lead the Pink Martini All-Stars in A Season of Stars. This all-new program blends old holiday favorites with new treats, all wrapped in the band’s signature catchy classic pop, big band sound, and Hollywood glamour. As The Washington Post notes, “This is rich, hugely approachable music, utterly cosmopolitan yet utterly unpretentious.”
