Pink Martini with the FWSO Pops


FORT WORTH SYMPHONY POPS CONCERT
program

The last FWSO Pops concert of the season featured Portland based "Pink Martini".  They have performed numerous times at Bass Hall and always are popular with audience members.




The concert kicked off with Pink Martini and the string section of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra playing Maurice Rave's "Bolero".  From there, it was a surprise as to what songs were played.  As it states in the program, "selections will be announced from the stage".  One fun song they played and sang was "?Donde Estas Yolanda". 

But you can be sure each song is unique and fun to enjoy.  What other group can sing songs in Italian, French, Spanish, Turkish, Armenian, Japanese and English? Plus they don't just sell CD's but also vinyl records and even socks!

After a short intermission, the second part of the show started with "Malaguena" by composer Ernesto Lecuona.

If Pink Martini ever comes your way or comes back to Fort Worth, do go see them.  They are high energy and perform unique and fun songs. Oh and a conga line closes the show leading everyone down the aisles and out the door!!
