Musicfest’s favorite globetrotting “little orchestra,” helmed by pianist Thomas Lauderdale, returns to the stage for two performances of big, bold, genre-defying songs that traverse time and geography. Featuring lead singer China Forbes, this band is “impressive at every musician’s station,” as Variety says, “…producing music that’s charming and elegant.”  From Brazilian sambas to jaunty Parisian café songs to retro jazz and old-fashioned pop, Pink Martini will get you in the mood to party!

Founded in 1971 by Artistic Director Brenda Way, who trained under the legendary George Balanchine, ODC (Oberlin Dance Collective—named after Oberlin College in Ohio) loaded up a yellow school bus and relocated to San Francisco in 1976. Her goal was to ground the company in a dynamic, pluralistic urban setting. ODC was one of the first American companies to return, after a decade of pedestrian exploration, to virtuosic technique in contemporary dance and to commit major resources to interdisciplinary collaboration and musical commissions for the repertory.
