Co-Presented by Early Music Seattle and Seattle Art Museum
Silk evokes the spirit of East Asia, while the Condor soars over the Andean mountains—together symbolizing the cultural roots of Duo Takinai. This duo of multi-instrumentalists and vocalists bridges the sounds of South America, Sephardic traditions, and East Asia, weaving a living tapestry of sound. With guitar, keyboard, charango, percussion, panpipes, and flutes from diverse traditions, their music travels across continents—an intimate dialogue between heritage and journey.
Saturdays at SAM
Create and connect every first, second, and third Saturday, 11 am–2 pm. This lively space is filled with hands-on art making, live music, and moments of community—all inspired by SAM’s permanent collections and exhibitions.
Whether you’re an art enthusiast, a curious newcomer, or just looking for a place to recharge this weekend, you’re always welcome. Learn about the artwork through interactive activities, meet new friends, or simply enjoy the atmosphere before exploring the galleries.
Programs in SAM’s entry gathering spaces are always free and open to everyone. Food and beverages from Shooby Doo Catering will be available for purchase in the Brotman Forum. Bring your curiosity and imagination, we’ll provide the rest.
