10 Family Friday Concert Series - The Portland Cello Project. An “Indie Cello Orchestra”, the Portland Cello Project has a deep-rooted philosophy to build a stronger music community - a belief that collaboration is the cornerstone of independent musicianship. This philosophy has led them to collaborative performances with a veritable "who's who" list of Portland musicians, from The Dandy Warhols to Laura Gibson, Vagabond Opera, and Storm Large, as well as most of the members of the Decemberists. PCP performances are unique and eclectic, as likely to mix a Salt N Pepa cover with Bach and follow the medley with something sublime by Arvo Pärt or WEINLAND. For more on the Portland Cello Project visit their website: www.portlandcelloproject.com. Doors open at 6:45pm, concert starts at 7:15pm. Free Admission; suggested donation of $5/individual and $15/family. Sponsored by Larkins | Vacura.

18 Benefit Concert featuring Iris Cohn & Friends. Every bar or bat mitzvah at Congregation Beth Israel creates a project to promote or support a cause about which he or she feels strongly. Iris has chosen to raise money for the Portland Schools Foundation’s First Octave Grants, which support art and music education for youth, with the goal of increasing access for underserved and underrepresented students and schools in Portland. Iris started playing violin at 4½ at CMC. She now performs with the Metropolitan Youth Symphony, and plays in MLC’s marimba band. “I decided to base my mitzvah project on music education because the arts have been a major part of my life since I was very young, and I want to make sure all kids, including those who are disadvantaged, have the opportunities that I have had,” says Iris. 2:00 pm. All student musicians and singers are invited to perform. For more info please e-mail irismitzvahproject@gmail.com.
