As we take a break for the holidays, please know how grateful we are for your support through your membership, donations, and presence at our concerts. The high caliber of our programs and depth of student support are entirely due to your generosity.
This fall, as we started our 110th season, world-class musicians offered an eclectic mix of classical and contemporary works. An all-women quintet, Bellissima Brass; pianists Gabriel and Rebecca Mañalacs; soprano Heather Dudenbostel with a vocal extravaganza, and cellist Samantha Sinai and pianist Michelle Huang, wowed our ever enthusiastic audiences. Look at our programs under the “FanFare Newsletter” tab to reminisce or learn about our exceptional performers.
Our awards coordinators are all set to present student adjudications and winners showcases! We hope you can join us for our first session – for the High School String Awards – on Friday, January 30, starting around 4pm at Trinity Lutheran Church, 119 Texas St. in Bellingham. More adjudications will take place in the following weeks. All the dates are posted on our season panel page.
And be sure to mark your calendar for the return of violinist Grant Donnellan and his highly anticipated musical travelogue, with a matinee program on February 4, and BMC Night Beat on February 5, both at First Congregational, 2401 Cornwall Ave.
Again, we thank you for your ongoing and generous support! Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones! We look forward to seeing you in 2026!
