We work to bring Portland’s vibrant music scene to life through our PDX volunteer music program. We are fortunate to have more than 20 rotating musicians who volunteer their time to entertain and soothe travelers.
These local musicians provide live performances that feature an eclectic mix of the best in local jazz, classical and contemporary styles – creating a fun, relaxing, stress-free environment for travelers of all ages.
We could not be more grateful for the time and creative energy they bring to PDX. Get to know our volunteer musicians below. Explore their performance schedule, and learn how you can find their music beyond the airport.
