Portland Cello Project

Suffice to say, you’ll never hear Taylor Swift or Kanye West quite the same way after you’ve listened to Portland Cello Project recreate and reimagine songs like “Shake It Off” and “All of the Lights.” The long-running crew has a self-made mission to take the cello to places the instrument isn’t typically heard, and to play music rarely touched by a classical approach. The result is covers of famous pop hits, sure, but also stirring performances delivered on New York loading docks or in punk clubs, in addition to more staid concert halls. PCP is also fond of collaborating with choirs, wind sections and percussionists, so you never really know what you’re going to get when they come to town — other than an utterly interesting night of music.
