Bellingham Chamber Music Society
The Bellingham Chamber Music Society presents ‘Dreams’ on February 22nd at 3pm in the Hotel Leo.
This concert features the world premier of a work commissioned by BCMS from American composer Jenni Brandon, in a Music meets Ecology fusion. The work, Osmia: Dream of the Mason Bees, is an homage to our native pollinator, the Mason Bee. Drawing inspiration from the ecology and life cycle of these spring pollinators, Jenni has created a delightful septet soundscape that reflects the richness of their short but busy lives. The music will be accompanied by images of these small ecological wonders. Thyra McKelvie, from Rent Mason Bees, will be on hand to share more about these amazing creatures who live among us.
The program also features Sul Irving Glick’s haunting trio for flute, bassoon, and marimba An Evening at Heaven’s Gate and Antonin Dvořák’s American Quartet in F major, Op. 96.
