Next Wednesday, Sept. 2, get ready for the sweet sounds of PDX volunteer musicians to return to the terminal.

This is a soft – and safe – launch; we’ll only see those musicians returning that feel comfortable with PDX safety protocols. Volunteers will be performing at Gates C8 and D1, C-West food court (between McDonald’s and Vino Volo), and a temporary location in Concourse E under Jacob Hashimoto’s “Sky” installation.

The soft launch of the program allows us to provide a soothing, calming influence to passengers, test out and modify volunteer safety protocols, and prepare for bringing more volunteers back in the coming weeks and months.
