To celebrate our 100th show, Chatter PDX is hosting a three-week festival celebrating music we love from Mozart to the present day. Activating historic spaces like the Liberty Theatre and Gordon House, this celebration marks not only two years of Chatter performances, but the foundation for our next 100 shows in the heart of downtown Portland.
