The Bellingham Festival of Music, founded in 1993 in Bellingham, Washington, brings world-class classical music to the Pacific Northwest. With concerts traditionally held at Western Washington University’s Performing Arts Center (WWU PAC) and chamber programs at Hotel Leo, the festival blends high artistry with community outreach. Led by Artistic Director Marcelo Lehninger since 2023, the festival thrives under a five-year vision that includes collaboration with Conductor Laureate Michael Palmer and a resident ensemble that anchors each season—the Calidore String Quartet.
