Northwest Folklife: Cello eXperiment

The Cello eXperiment (AKA “Cello X”) was founded in 2010 by Peter Williams featuring his highest-level students. Their mission is to push the boundaries of cello playing and are as comfortable performing music by Metallica and Alice in Chains as they are performing music by Johann Sebastian Bach. Most of their music comes from original arrangements of today's best music. They have recorded an album at Jack Straw Studios and have performed at the Seattle Mariners, Triple Door, the Moore and ACT Theatres, and elsewhere. They are delighted to be back at Folklife for their eighth consecutive year.

About Northwest Folklife

Northwest Folklife is a community-powered celebration of the music, arts, and heritage that make up the brilliant cultural tapestry of the greater Pacific Northwest. With over 5,000 performers on 20+ stages, 200 vendors, 500 volunteers, and upwards of 250,000 attendees, this remains one of the largest access-for-all festivals in the nation. The festival is more than a celebration of the diversity of the Pacific Northwest, it’s a chance to engage directly with the many communities that make up our region.

We are committed to access for all regardless of background or income and therefore continue to operate without tickets or gates. Each year, Northwest Folklife depends on donations from generous individuals, foundations, government, and corporate partners in order to meet operating expenses, produce the annual Festival, and maintain year-round programs and events. It’s not easy to sustain, and we need your support. Everybody is a bearer of and participant in Folklife, and we are committed to make certain everyone is able to come and celebrate with us.

Tickets: We suggest a donation of $10 per person, per day (or $20 for family/groups), but gladly accept donations of any amount!
