Saw Peep Pan-Asian Ensemble: Music & Asian Dance
Kentuckiana-based Saw Peep Pan-Asian Ensemble performs intercultural music, dance, and puppetry from South and Southeast Asia, the Silk Road, and Central Asia.
They've been featured performers on WUOL's New Lens concert series, awarded a Fund For the Arts Community Mini-Grant, and showcased at events like the Louisville Orchestra's Lunar New Year, the Crane House's Asian Night Markets, and the Louisville Filipino American Festival.
Founded and directed by Jon Silpayamanant, an intercultural multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator, the ensemble works closely with Louisville's immigrant and refugee communities.
The name Saw Peep (ซอปี๊บ) comes from a bowed fiddle made of a large metal can in the Isan region of Northeast Thailand, where Jon was born.
