ABOUT OUR HOST
Saint Bread is a bakery and community space on the Portage Bay waterfront near the University of Washington. Our name comes from the Danish words for true bread – sandt brod – and our playful interpretation nods to Plane Bread, and our belief in tending to something is a sacred act.
Before it was a bakery, 1421 Boat Street was owned by the Jensen family of boatbuilders, and housed the Jensen Motor Boat Company. With a wink and a nod of thanks, we hope to honor their legacy as Saint Bread, with the Jensen Marina Project, and as stewards of the great space they so carefully built with care by hand.
Saint Bread operates with intentional and unwavering commitment to doing what is best for ourselves and our community.
About Live Music Project
The Live Music Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing arts access and arts community in Seattle and around the world.
We believe that a lack of resources should not be a barrier to audience. We believe that access to the arts begins with access to information about the arts.
Our purpose is to connect people with the means to access and experience live classical music in a way that strengthens community, celebrates listener agency, and amplifies local arts resources.
