Portland Cello Project has built a reputation for mixing genres and blurring musical lines wherever they go. Their diverse, 800-piece repertoire features music you wouldn’t normally hear coming from a cello — everything from Bach to Kanye to Radiohead. Special guest: Ural Thomas & the Pain.

At this lunchtime concert, expect to see cellos in places you wouldn’t normally see them, playing music you wouldn’t normally hear played on the instrument.
