In the fall of 2022, the Portland Conservatory of Music and The Atrium at The Cedars started what has grown into a beautiful musical relationship.
Faculty, student groups, and soloists from PCM perform on the 2nd Tuesday evening of each month to the gracious and engaging members of The Atrium. The music ranges from instrumental soloists to collaborations such as flute and violin, music from the Middle East on traditional instruments, classical and Spanish guitar, cello duets, string trios and quartets, and fiddle and accordion.
Here is what some of the PCM faculty members have to say about their experience performing:
“It was such a fun and fulfilling experience! The space is beautiful, I look forward to my next opportunity to perform there!”
“The audience was very receptive to our performance. They enjoyed the explanation of each piece and composer which added to the overall experience”
“There is no substitute for the experience of live music both for the performers and the listeners. It is a privilege to honor and share, it with such a gracious and attentive audience.”
“The residents at The Atrium truly appreciate everything we play for them and for the musician it is so rewarding to bring music to their homes. This is why we become musicians, for experiences like these.”
The members of The Atrium at The Cedars rave:
“The talent that comes from The Portland Conservatory of Music is always outstanding!”
“We are so lucky to have them (PCM) come each month!”
“The Portland Conservatory of Music exposes us to unique music. We look forward to who shows up each month!”
“Learning and hearing new instruments, such as the Lute, was educational and interesting.”
