Over the past 15 years an extraordinary group of musicians has come together to celebrate the universal power of music. The Silk Road Ensemble exemplifies music’s ability to blur international boundaries, blend disparate cultures and inspire hope for artist and audience.  The film focuses on artists as they gather in locations across the world, exploring the ways art can both preserve traditions and shape cultural evolution and provide solace in times of conflict.

After the film, members of the Seattle Labor Chorus will lead us in singing a couple of songs.  Come enjoy some joyous, live music!

Doors open at 6:30 for snacks and hot beverages.

    In these dark days of political division this film celebrates how music can bring people from different cultures together. It is my hope that after the film we can sing together with the spirited Seattle Labor Chorus animatedly led by Janet Stecher!
