Marrowstone

2010 Dates: July 25-August 8

Marrowstone Music Festival, founded in 1943, has grown into the leading summer music program for young musicians in the Pacific Northwest. Every summer, around 180 outstanding musicians aged 13 to 25 come from over 20 states and several countries to study with our nationally acclaimed faculty at the beautiful campus of Western Washington University in Bellingham. During this intense two-week program, students are immersed in orchestral and chamber music rehearsals, master classes, and professional performances for the Bellingham public.

The heart and soul of Marrowstone is our internationally acclaimed faculty; members of the world’s most distinguished symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, opera companies and conservatories. But the musical gifts of our distinguished faculty are most vividly reflected in their devotion to the training of the next generation of young artists. Marrowstone has always been a place where the precious legacy of great and timeless music serves to enrich the artists of today and inspire the performers of tomorrow. It is a place to watch musical sparks fly, and a place to witness a great love for music being reborn and rekindled in the next generation of artists.
