Spectacular crossover cellist Rebecca Roudman comes to Valhalla Tahoe on Aug. 10 with Renegade Orchestra, a 20-piece ensemble that has the beauty of a symphony and the soul of a rock ‘n’ roll band. This one-of-a-kind musical experiment began with an idea that local orchestras are full of outstanding players who rarely get to rock out, throw off the classical music straight jacket and let their collective hair down. | valhallatahoe.showare.com
Roudman performs the next night at Truckee Thursdays on the streets of historic downtown with her San Francisco quintet Dirty Cello, a group that crafts down-home blues, heartbreak Americana and foot-stompin’ bluegrass with an otherworldly passion. After seeing Roudman get rowdy, you’ll never hear the cello the same way again. | truckeethursdays.com
