The Portland Cello Project, an eclectic collective of cellists hailing from Portland, Oregon, has made a name for themselves by transcending the boundaries of classical music and venturing into an array of genres, from indie rock to hip-hop. Founded in 2006, the ensemble is known for its ability to bring the rich, resonant sounds of the cello to diverse audiences, often with an unconventional twist. The project has evolved from its grassroots origins to a nationally recognized performance act, with its mission to bring the cello to places you wouldn't normally hear it, performed by musicians you wouldn't normally associate with classical music.

Their discography boasts a wide-ranging spectrum of musical exploration, as is evident in albums such as "Homage," which pays tribute to influential artists and "The Thao & Justin Power Sessions," a collaborative venture that blends their classical strings with indie folk and alternative elements. Their more recent releases, such as "Under the Mistletoe" and "Winter Wonderland," display their versatility by dipping into the seasonal and thematic, catering to both time-honored traditions and contemporary tastes. The Portland Cello Project's ability to adapt and innovate ensures their unique space in the music world, as they continue to charm audiences with their genre-defying performances.
