Portland Cello Project
Artistic Director Douglas Jenkins always said that he would never score out any Radiohead arrangements for PCP, because the originals were perfect enough soundscapes as they are.
However, the serendipity of a simultaneous collaboration with the world-class wind quintet, City of Tomorrow (the only wind ensemble for the last ten years to win the gold medal in the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition), and a top-notch new men's choir led by Stephen Marc Beaudoin (recorded and toured with Pink Martini, soloist with Fear no Music, and Executive Director of PHAME), made the temptation to take on this legendary album unavoidable.
The performance of OK Computer will be interspersed with a unique assortment of contrasting and complementary classical music.
Adam Shearer (Alialujah Choir, Weinland) will sing Exit Music (For a Film), but otherwise, the vocals will always come en masse from the choir.

Alialujah Choir
The Alialujah Choir is Adam Shearer and Alia Farah of Weinland, and Adam Selzer of Norfolk & Western and M. Ward.
Shearer, Selzer and Farah began writing and recording songs at Portland's Type Foundry with no commercial ambitions. They simply wanted to take shelter from the chaos of touring and make music together. Ensconced by friendship and solitude, the trio's shared sensibility to embrace their love for roots folk music has created a beautiful and compelling album.
