2013 Bellingham Festival of Music Updates

Greetings one and all.  A long overdue musing as I'm taking a brief, but much needed break from all of this glorious music making that surrounds me here in Bellingham.  We are right in the middle of our 20th Anniversary season of the Bellingham Festival of Music - "A Season of Celebrations" - and what a celebration it has been thus far!  Sold out concerts, working with long time friends and great artists - what more can I ask for!  I've been blessed to be able to spend my summers for the past 20 years, truly focusing on achieving the pinnacle of artist achievement performing all of these great classical masterworks with some of this generation's  greatest musicians.  This is truly one of the great virtuoso orchestras that I've gathered together and I can't even begin to describe the energy and camaraderie that surrounds me.

For those who are following me on Facebook or my website, I do hope you'll find a way to experience this amazing festival one day - in person or online.  We are making efforts to expand our reach and always looking to attract wider audiences - as it's been one of my passions to help preserve the essence of this great art form and to ensure that classical music remains accessible and enjoyed for many more generations!

I'll do my best to check in before this year's festival ends, but in the meantime, please follow me on Facebook for more regular updates:  https://www.facebook.com/michael.palmer.conductor

Until next time....thanks for checking in.
