Festival Chorus

The acclaimed Bellingham Festival of Music chorus brings together some of the finest singers from Whatcom County. The chorus rehearses weekly from June to July with BFM Choirmistress, Wendy Bloom. Final rehearsals with Maestro Lehninger begin in the weeks prior to the July 20th performance of the Debussy Nocturnes and Fauré Pavane.

Recent performances have included Brahms’s Requiem, Haydn’s Creation, Mozart’s Requiem as well as operas including Beethoven’s Fidelio and Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio. Festival audiences appreciate this dedicated group of highly skilled singers willing to donate their time and talent to present choral masterpieces.
