Artists at the Center

A Chamber Orchestra Family Concert
Orquesta Northwest presents:

Paula Madrigal Conducting the Ballard Civic Orchestra in a performance with an educational approach dedicated to Latinx essential worker families of Seattle. This concert features repertoire from Latin America and around the world. Families will have the opportunity to meet the instruments from the classical orchestra through the works of the great Latin American composers in history.

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 a newly revitalized 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 through an open application process with an equity and social justice lens, ensuring equitable representation for underserved and emerging artists. Artistic genres include music, dance, theater, cultural demonstrations, and multi-disciplinary work.
