What's the most Portland thing about this video? Is it the fact that the Portland Baroque Orchestra actually dedicated a special rehearsal video session to the city's MLS team? Is it the fact that the orchestra's artistic director, Monica Huggett, looks absolutely fabulous directing the whole thing in a Timbers scarf? Is it the excellently bearded violinist player in the front, who manages to play the whole piece while sitting in full lotus position? Something else? All of the above?
Whatever it is, please enjoy yet another chapter in Portland's amazing celebrations of the team's MLS Cup win. Here's the orchestra tweaking Handel's "Messiah" to celebrate the Timbers. The best part might be at the end, when the angelic chorus kicks in with, "We wooon the leeeaaague."
