Join us for a very special online event—a streamed concert featuring four performers from Portland Cello Project: Nancy Ives, Diane Chaplin, Gideon Freudmann and Skip von Kuske, with PCP’s Douglas Jenkins serving as artistic director for the event.
In a special virtual, one-time concert co-presented by Sun Valley Museum of Art and Warren Miller Performing Arts Center in Big Sky, Montana, the Portland Cello Project continues to deliver on its three-fold mission:
- To bring the cello places you wouldn't normally see it (from wild dance parties, to formal symphony halls, to street parties, to Millennium Park in Chicago...)
- To perform music on the cello you wouldn't normally associate with the instrument alongside music from the Western Classical Tradition (from Pantera to Taylor Swift to Kanye West to Elliott Smith, alongside Bach, Rossini, and Saint-Saens, to name just a few...)
- To build bridges between different musical communities through educational, community outreach, and through collaboration with myriad artists, from The Dandy Warhols to Garrison Keillor to Ural Thomas to Corin Tucker (Sleater-Kinney) to Jolie Holland to Peter Yarrow (Peter, Paul and Mary), among many others, and cellists such as Ben Sollee, Maya Beiser and Zoe Keating.
