"Listen, and feel the beauty of your separation, the unsayable absence. There is a moon inside every human being. Learn to be companions with it. Give more of your life to this listening." - Rumi

For many years, these words resonated above audiences at bluewhale in Little Tokyo. Now, after years apart, we're preparing to return to listening together again.

bluewhale is returning with a new home and an expanded vision: dedicated listening rooms for jazz and Western classical music, a full-service restaurant rooted in hospitality and thoughtful food, and an all-ages environment where artists, students, families, and music lovers can gather, listen, and connect.
