Orquesta Northwest and Ballard Civic Orchestra are thrilled to open our 2023 “Roots without Borders'' concert & event series! For the first event in the series, “Unearthing our Roots,” the Ballard Civic Orchestra will perform music by Mexican Composers Blas Galindo and Carlos Chavez. Special guests for this event will explore our Iberian roots with Arab Andalucian, Sephardic Jewish and Castilian pieces, such as Lamma Bada Yathatana (Andalusi Arabic, likely 14th century), Ija Mía (Sephardic Jewish, traditional) OR Morenika/Morena Me Llaman (Sephardic Jewish, traditional), and Strela do día Cantiga de Santa Maria #100, (Rey Alfonso X, El Sabio, 13th century), featuring early music artists Guo Ke as well as Gus Denhard, and Antonio Gomez of Trio Guadalavin.

Rounding out the program, treasured Lummi Nation violinist and storyteller Swil Kanim will grace the stage with a much anticipated Seattle performance, and the traditional Aztec dance group CeAtl Tonalli will perform outside the venue before the concert beginning at 1:15, so show up early!
