Music: Creating Lasting Connections and Transcendent States in Human Expression

 

At SAMA: Music + Art, we define "sacred music" as any harmonic, rhythmic, melodious – even experimental – musical art form that elevates the human spirit. From Gregorian chants and Mongolian throat singing to Moroccan Gnawa and Brazilian samba, sacred music encompasses a diverse array of traditions. It has resonated in great halls, houses of worship, forests, fields, and even on chaotic urban streets worldwide.

SAMA is dedicated to sharing the transcendent power of sacred music through live and streamed performances by artists from across the globe. Join us for enchanting experiences of Seattle live music, embracing the vibrant tapestry of world music that enriches Seattle's music culture.
