"Silk & Condor"
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.

Artists At the Center is a multi-year collaboration between Seattle Office of Arts & Culture and Seattle Center, with support from Uptown Arts & Culture Coalition and the communities adjacent to Seattle Center campus. The project is made possible by a 10-year grant from Climate Pledge Arena and Seattle Kraken.
Join us as we introduce emerging and established artists and celebrate their talent on Seattle Center campus. Artists are given a performance opportunity, allowing them to connect with new audiences, display their talents and advance their careers. Visitors to campus and the surrounding neighborhood benefit from surprising and delightful pop-up performances throughout the year. Each year, artists are selected with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
