The Portland Cello Project (Visual Arts Collective – Garden City) 11/21/19
You had me at OK Computer. When I first saw that this group of cellists from Portland (hence their name) was coming to my sleepy little Garden City to perform my favorite album of all of the times, there was no doubt I had to check it out. Boy am I glad that I … Continue reading The Portland Cello Project (Visual Arts Collective – Garden City) 11/21/19
