BCMS is a hub of musical and creative activity for the community of local professional musicians. The Society began in 2013 out of the vision of violist, Leslie Faye Johnson and bassoonist, Pat Nelson, in an effort to provide performing opportunities for professional chamber musicians to share their music with Bellingham audiences.
