McIntyre Hall Presents

Portland Cello Project: Sunshine & Stars

Featuring Diane Chaplin

Saturday, November 22     7:30pm

Portland Cello Project bring you on an extraordinary musical journey, transforming beloved hits from Beethoven, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Billie Eilish, and beyond into breathtaking cello arrangements.
Portland Cello Project is a genre-defying cello ensemble known for reimagining everything from Bach to Beyoncé. Based in Portland, Oregon, the group has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of classical instrumentation by bringing cello-driven performances to rock clubs, concert halls, and festivals across the country.

This tour, Portland Cello Project is going back to the basics, the way the band started – an all-cello, amplified acoustic show full of lush harmonies and beautiful melodies inspired by the stars and beyond. Expect everything from gems of classical music to Stevie Wonder and Led Zeppelin. Plus, we’ll be featuring Cello Project icon Diane Chaplin as a soloist and part of the ensemble.

Since it’s founding nearly 20 years ago, Portland Cello Project (or PCP as its fans sometimes affectionately call them) has collaborated with an eclectic range of artists and performed bold arrangements of hip-hop, pop, metal, and indie-rock, all through the lens of classical technique and adventurous orchestration.

With a rotating cast of classically-trained cellists, the group blends tradition with experimentation, aiming to make cello music accessible, unexpected, and alive.
Whether they’re performing an homage to Radiohead, or Prince, or performing original compositions by Cello Project members, or teaming up with contemporary musical icons, Portland Cello Project delivers unforgettable live shows worldwide that redefine what a cello can do.
