PORTLAND CELLO PROJECT
UNDER THE MISTLETOE with Saeeda Wright
Thursday, December 14, 2023
7:30pm, General Admission, $35
Born out of the relentless winter months of the Pacific Northwest -- where Christmas sweaters adorn even the animal statues -- this holiday concert hits different.
The Portland Cello Project, known for their delightfully dedicated performances of both modern and classical music (and everything in between), invite Saeeda Wright on stage with them to bring a complement of unexpected classical jams to the holiday stage. Expect uniquely jazzy takes on holiday classics from What Child is This and Do You Hear What I Hear to standards like What Are You Doing for New Years?, bridged with Hannukah medleys.
Don't miss out on these phenomenal musicians accompanied by a talented backing band that will have you dancing in your seats.
Just try to be a scrooge at this concert. We dare you. There’s something for everyone, and all the gifts are tied together by the cello in the unique ways that have made The Portland Cello Project a perennial favorite over the last decade.
Special Guest Saeeda Wright has been seen on stages backing Prince (as a member of his New Power Generation), and she has performed with gospel music greats Jessica Reedy, Cece Winans, Crystal Akin, JJ Harrison and Yvette Williams. She is regularly featured heating up the stage in The Portland Cello Project’s Purple Reign programs, and The Portland Cello Project is honored to have her continue their relationship, warming up some wonderful wintertime favorites on this program as well as a new album — also called Under the Mistletoe with Saeeda Wright — due out in November 2023.
Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets purchased online can be picked up at any time from the Box Office during regular hours (Tuesday-Saturday 2:00-5:30 pm) and from 2:00 pm on day of show.
