Scenes from the 2026 Season

We like to say the Festival is “surrounded by beauty and inspired by music,” to which we could add “enlivened by friendship and camaraderie.” You only need to check out these photos to observe the warm relationships between orchestra musicians, guest artists, Bellingham music lovers, BFM officers, home hosts, volunteers, and local institutions. The excellence of our music making is perhaps only matched by the celebrations our performances inspire.
