Portland Cello Project
UW Memorial Union-Shannon Hall 800 Langdon St., Madison, Wisconsin 53706
A year after the 20th anniversary of Radiohead’s instant classic OK Computer, Portland, Oregon’s premier cellist group plays their rendition of the album in full. Given the British rock group’s inherently orchestral nature, this pairing seems a match made in heaven. It should also be interesting to see how the cellists treat hits like “Karma Police” compared to more experimental pieces like “Climbing Up The Walls.” They’ll play with a full ensemble, including brass, percussion and guest vocals by Patti King of The Shins.
