Pink Martini, featuring Oregon! Oregon! with The 234th Army Band. In honor of Oregon's 150th birthday the beaver state's own Pink Martini perform a very special concert featuring Oregon! Oregon! In 1958, the Oregon Centennial Commission hired radio personality Stan Freberg to create a custom musical. The result was "Oregon! Oregon! A Centennial Fable in Three Acts."
Pink Martini will perform an updated version of the musical, with an addition written by Pink Martini founder and pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale. Following intermission, they'll perform a set of their unique mix of sophisticated yet approachable music. Pink Martini draws from rhumba, neo-classical, Latin beats and more, and Lauderdale describes their music as, "bringing melodies and rhythms from different parts of the world together to create something which is modern."
