The highly original Portland Cello Project will perform at a special Members Appreciation Concert for members of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts on Friday, May 11.

The ensemble will perform at 8 p.m. at the Liberty Theatre in Hailey.

The Project has a big following in the Wood River Valley, said Kristine Bretall, director of performing arts for The Center.

“Not only are they stunningly great, creative musicians, but they’ve been here as a part of The Center’s Professional Artist Residency program and created lots of younger fans through that process,” she said.

The Portland Cello Project, or PCP, plays a repertoire of more than 800 pieces of music--everything from Bach to Coltrane to Radiohead, jazzing things up with cello, vocal and drums.

They’re known for blurring genres and musical lines.

Friday evening will also include collaborations between PCP and guest artist Maiah Wynne, a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who just won second place in the Seattle Museum of Pop Culture’s 2018 Sound Off! Competition for her music, which includes the likes of “The Ballad of Lefty Brown.”

Also touring with the group is trumpeter Farnell Newton, a staple of the Portland jazz and funk scene.

Tickets are $24, available to Center members only. To purchase go online at www.sunvalleycenter.org or call 208-726-9491.
