Pink Martini

On July 3, 2026, Pink Martini brings its internationally minded songbook to Salle Wilfrid‑Pelletier in Montréal. Originating in Portland, the compact orchestra marries jazz harmonies, Latin rhythms, vintage pop and a hint of classical elegance into polished, melodic arrangements crafted for the stage. The group slips effortlessly between languages and moods, moving from bolero to cha‑cha, from chanson to a swinging standard while maintaining a cohesive thread.

Their concert unfolds like a travel journal. You can expect to hear Sympathique (Je ne veux pas travailler), Hang On Little Tomato and other originals reimagined alongside enduring covers reworked with brass, strings and crisp percussion. The piano provides a steady foundation, the singing drifts from French to English and beyond, and the ensemble accumulates warm crescendos that keep the audience engaged.

Across several albums, including Get Happy, Pink Martini has honed a style of storytelling through rhythm and melody rather than virtuoso excess. Onstage, that approach translates into tight interaction, clear melodic lines and arrangements that invite the crowd to join in—whether by swaying, whistling along or singing a familiar chorus.
