The 2nd Annual George Harrison Celebration
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
40+ musicians, forming a veritable who’s who across Portland’s music scene, get together to bring you two momentous concerts by and for George Harrison.
Friday 10/7 – Return of the sold-out 2020 performance of the Concert for George featuring Harrison's magnum opus and arguably, the best post-Beatles release by any of the Fab Four, All Things Must Pass. Marking the first anniversary of George’s passing, the Concert for George featured Eric Clapton as musical director and a special opening with an original Indian classical music performance by Ravi and Anoushka Shankar.
Saturday 10/8 – Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the legendary Concert for Bangladesh. Organized and presented by George in association with Ravi Shankar, the concerts were a benefit for Bangladeshi refugees displaced by the Bangladesh Liberation War. Featuring performers Ringo Starr, Billy Preston, Leon Russell, Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton, and a spectacular opening segment by Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, the shows spawned both a hit album and memorable concert film.
