Pink Martini, The Novello Orchestra

Somewhere between a 1930s Cuban dance orchestra, a classical chamber music ensemble, a Brazilian marching street band and Japanese film noir is the 12-piece Pink Martini. Part language lesson and part Hollywood musical, the Portland and Oregon-based 'little orchestra' were created in 1994 by Harvard graduate and classically trained pianist Thomas M. Lauderdale, and are known for performing their multilingual repertoire with symphony orchestras around the world.

Performing in Wales for the first time, the band will be joined by original Pink Martini vocalist China Forbes and The Novello Orchestra. Conducted by Only Men Aloud's David Mahoney, The Novello Orchestra's charismatic performances and sophisticated take on musical show-stoppers have made them one of the finest show orchestras in the UK.
