Stay tuned for our 2012-2013 Year!

For the first time ever, the WSO season will feature not one – but two! – of the world’s biggest superstars. Plus an amazing up-and-coming pianist, a renowned local cellist, and an entertaining salute to Hollywood film music.

Beloved violinist Sarah Chang returns to Bellingham! In 2009, her sold-out performance with the WSO left the audience breathless. The response was so enthusiastic that Sarah asked to come back for another memorable afternoon.

The season also includes Grammy Award-winning guitarist Sharon Isbin – known throughout the world as classical guitar’s reigning diva (Dallas Morning News). After recent appearances in Europe, Asia, South America -- and at the White House -- she’s on her way to Bellingham.

Cellist John Friesen, known for his soulful tone and exquisite technique, will appear with the WSO to start the new year. And Olympia native Charlie Albright, hailed as among the most gifted pianists of his generation (Washington Post) joins the orchestra in the fall.

The season also features four remarkable Guest Conductors – the finalists in the WSO’s search for a new Music Director to succeed Maestro Briggs, who is stepping down after 16 years on the podium. You’ll have a chance to meet each finalist. And, after the concert, the audience will have the opportunity to provide feedback into this very important decision.

Full details of the concert season will be announced in June, with tickets available starting in July. To be added to our mailing list to receive a season brochure this summer (or if your address has changed since last year), Click Here and enter your mailing address.
