Festival of Music again brings world-class musicians to Whatcom County

Each summer a community comes together with rare generosity to celebrate music. From July 5 through July 21, 2013, some of the finest musicians from all over the country will join forces under the leadership of Michael Palmer and with world-renowned soloists to create a unique Pacific Northwest experience-the Bellingham Festival of Music.

We in the community read about these great musicians coming to Bellingham; we applaud their performances at the Performing Arts Center of Western Washington University; we listen to informal chamber music at Mallards while eating ice cream, or to recitals at the Cruise Terminal and the Whatcom Museum of History & Art's Rotunda Room; and we sit in awe as famous soloists instruct young musicians from this area in performance on their instrument in master classes.
