In the fall of 2006 a group of 9 cellists got on stage at Portland’s Doug Fir Lounge to perform western classical music in an informal setting.
Many of the cellists that night thought that was a fun one-off gig.
But the energy of the night carried on, and that one-off gig became a second, and a third… almost every cellist in Portland at the time hopped on stage with the group, performing in Portland’s most popular clubs at the height of Portland’s acclaimed early-2000s music scene.
The Cello Project quickly evolved into a nationally-recognized performing, recording and educational group touring everywhere in North America, performing in every type of venue imaginable, from punk rock clubs to symphony halls, to street parties to exclusive private events,
Under the artistic direction of Douglas Jenkins, the group grew and evolved a repertoire of more than 1,700 pieces of music, working with an all-star group of cellists in the Pacific Northwest (Skip vonKuske, Diane Chaplin, Nancy Ives, Gideon Freudmann, Kevin Jackson, and Lauren McShane to name just a few…). Jenkins developed a three-part philosophy for the group that has mostly remained its unchanged north star over the years:
- To bring the cello places you wouldn’t normally see it
- To perform music on the cello you wouldn’t normally associate with the instrument
- To build bridges between different musical communities through collaborations and community outreach

I would love to see them again—it has been over a decade since I have seen the CP. Thank you in advance!
Cello is my very favorite instrument, string, reed or brass! I’ve never heard more than a trio so this would be spectacular. We would love to go!
I have yet to see them, and my mom raved about them, so I would love to be able to get tickets!
I’ve been wanting to see these guys for a long time. It would be great to win tickets and take my mom.
Yes, please!
Please let it be me so that I may bring a sight impaired friend to share this amazing experience. Cello is my very favorite string instrument… 🎻 Thank you!
I saw them probably a dozen years ago at the Kennedy School. They are very good.
Would absolutely love to win tickets and see them again
I love music – every kind has something special about it! I’d love to see a concert like this.

I remember seeing them do a summertime outdoor concert at the ecotrust building, but that must have been forever ago 🙃 would be stoked to see what they’re up to today
I have not seen the Portland Cello Project. It would be wonderful to experience their music. I would take my boyfriend for a relaxing date!
I’ve heard so many great things about the Portland Cello Project – would love to attend in person.

I fell in love last summer when I saw the Cello project do a Prince tribute. I grew up in Portland learning the violin so seeing strings in action warms my heart!

The cello is my favorite instrument! I feel so fortunate to live in a city with such amazing talent 😍 I was introduced to classical music by one of my favorite people, which makes it especially special to me. I love opportunities to listen to it performed live.
I’ve heard so much about their shows. Would love to go
This is a show i have yet to enjoy live, and i love their work!
It’s been 14 years since I’ve seen them. Love their music and would love the opportunity to see them again!

Its been way too long since seeing the PCP!
Yes please!
Would love to win these so i can take my brother for his birthday! He is a cello player in college and I know he would love to see them.
My wife and I love the combination of cello and contemporary music! We’ve seen PCP in the past, and would love another chance during our upcoming anniversary week. Saving up for some upcoming travel, so tickets would be a really nice surprise for us. It’ll be a treat for anyone lucky enough to win!
I’ve admired their music for years.
It would be a great pleasure to see them live!
I’ve been trying to get to one of their concerts since I returned in 2018!
