IMELDA MAY: October 8, 2011: 7:30pm
Imelda May, born in Dublin and raised in the Liberties, may be an unknown name to some, but to many she is already a superstar. In Ireland, her debut album Love Tattoo, whe she recorded and released on her own label, has gone Triple Platinum. She has shared the stage with such greats as Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, David Gilmour, Lionel Richie, Jeff Beck, Van Morrison, Wanda Jackson and Meatloaf. And now with the release of her new album, Mayhem, she is about to go stellar. She is unmistakable both in her music (a fusion of surf guitars, blues and rockabilly that wouldn't be out of place in a David Lynch movie) and her style, with a solitary curl and shock of blonde in her jet black hair.

PINK MARTINI with UK Symphony Orchestra : December 10, 2011 : 7:30pm
Drawing inspiration from music from all over the world - crossing genres of classical, jazz and old fashioned pop - Thomas M. Lauderdale founded the "little orchestra" in Portland, Oregon in 1994. Lauderdale met China Forbes, Pink Martini's "Diva Next Door" lead vocalist, at Harvard. They bonded over their love of singing arias by Puccini and Verdi and the occasional campy Barbara Streisand cover. The song-writing began, and their first song Sympathique, which became an overnight sensation in France, was nominated for Song of the Year at France's Victories de la Musique Awards in 2000. All twelve members of Pink Martini come from multicultural families, studying different languages, as well as different styles of music from all parts of the globe.
