Bellingham Chamber Music Society - Soundscapes

  • Hotel Leo Crystal Ballroom 1224 Cornwall Avenue Bellingham, WA, 98225 United States (map)

Join us in our Crystal Ballroom for the Bellingham Chamber Music Society’s concert - Soundscapes.

On May 19th, from 3 - 5 PM, prepare for a concert with lush soundscapes that will sweep you away on an unexpected journey.

Each piece features unusual but glorious instrument combinations, starting with the Debussy “Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp.” Debussy once remarked that he didn’t recognize the writing and felt it reflected his younger self.

Elizabeth Raum’s “Searching for Sophia” is an equally intense soundscape featuring oboe and strings in a deeply heartfelt and virtuosic display. The final soundscape will be Mendelssohn’s iconic “Octet in Eb,” written when he was only 16 years old and shows his youthful verve.
