Pink Martini to Perform with the New York Pops, 8/7

On August 7, Pink Martini will perform with New York Pops at its inaugural summer series at its new home, Forest Hills Stadium. The genre-defying Portland, Oregon-based band will feature lead singers China Forbes and Storm Large, alongside bandleader Thomas Lauderdale and several other instrumentalists.

"It's been a real pleasure collaborating with Pink Martini around North America, and I am tremendously excited that they will be joining The New York Pops in our inaugural season at our new summer home, Forest Hills Stadium," said Music Director Steven Reineke. "Their multilingual, eclectic style works beautifully with a full orchestra, and I can't wait to perform with them again and show New York City a great time on August 7. It's always a party when PinkMartini comes to town!"

New York Pops concerts at Forest Hills Stadium are family-friendly events, with ticket packages beginning at only $10. Up to four children (16 and under) will be admitted FREE with the purchase of one adult ticket.

Forest Hills Stadium events have been made possible through a partnership with the local community, with a focus on making concerts an experience to be enjoyed by all New Yorkers. Dedicated entrance and exits have been constructed to manage audience flow and a sound mitigation project is underway which is designed to lower the overall noise levels around the stadium during concerts. The stadium is conveniently located feet from the E, M, F, and R subway trains as well as the Long Island Rail Road, and concert-goers are strongly encouraged to utilize public transportation as there is no parking available at the stadium or in the surrounding community.

The New York Pops annual subscription series at Carnegie Hall will open on October 9, 2015 with "My Favorite Things: The Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein," featuring Sierra Boggess and Steven Pasquale and Judith Clurman's Essential Voices USA.

Tickets are on sale at www.foresthillsstadium.com and range from $10 to $129. Kids tickets (16 and under) FREE with purchase of one adult ticket.
