Get, essentially, your own private Portland Cello Project show (intimate, classy and acoustic, no less), and there will be wine tasting ( Sokol Blosser Vineyards ) and food by Chez Joly . The show is sponsored by the South Waterfront, (all of those new buildings you see beneath OHSU). Space is very limited, so you have to RSVP to communityrelations@southwaterfront.com for tickets.
