”Independent” and ”Orchestra” are not two words you often hear in the same breath.
Nevertheless, that’s exactly what The Portland Cello Project is: an ”indie cello orchestra”.
The somewhat intimidating 8-16 cello ensemble, The Portland Cello Project (or, PCP, as their fans affectionately call them), has had a meteoric rise in the vibrant Portland music scene. The group has a deep-rooted philosophy of building a stronger music community – a belief that collaboration is the ironic cornerstone of independent musicianship — that has led them to collaborative performances with a veritable ”who’s who” list of Portland musicians, from Laura Gibson and Horse Feathers to The Dandy Warhols and The Builders and The Butchers.
Every PCP performance is unique and eclectic, as likely to mix a Salt N Pepa cover with Bach and follow the medley with something sublime by Arvo Pärt or WEINLAND, as they are to enlist beatbox/comedian/playwright Reggie Watts to collaborate on-stage with them in front of 700 people with no rehearsal to cover a Britney Spears song.
For the December 5 show at the Aladdin Theater in Portland, the group will be in full force, with over 16 cellists slated to perform, and collaborations with Mirah, Ritchie Young (Loch Lomond), a performance of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition with Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists) playing a Hammond B3 organ, and much, much more.
