Unbroken Circle

. . . . .

All-levels explorations of musical and cultural traditions.

Start or deepen your musical journey in a casual, all-are-welcome setting.

Unbroken Circle is undergoing a transformation...

We are saying thank you and goodnight to our Monday night version of Unbroken Circle to make way for a new expression that will better highlight the stories and talents of our Culture Bearers. Look for them sprinkled into our other weekly programs and featured in specialized workshops!

Please join us March 10th (Special Edition with Purim Klezmer Jam) or March 17th (Blues Harmonica with Jesse Hagopian) for the last two sessions of the current version of Unbroken Circle!

Professional musicians and artists from across the greater Seattle region want to share their stories and experience with you. Explore musical skills, hear advice from seasoned performers, and help preserve cultural stories and wisdom.

Some of our most meaningful, moving moments happen in Unbroken Circle, and we want you to be a part.
