In the autumn of 2006, a unique musical experience unfolded at Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge as a collective of nine cellists took to the stage to deliver an informal performance of Western classical music. This event marked the beginning of a vibrant tradition, where classical melodies were reimagined in a laid-back atmosphere, captivating audiences. Over the years, this initiative has evolved, showcasing how classical music can thrive outside conventional settings, drawing in diverse crowds and fostering community engagement. Join us for the latest iteration of this exciting series, where artistic expression meets a relaxed vibe.
