BMC’s “Sounds Sublime” season opens with pianist Jacques Després @ First Congregational Church
73 Shares

Bellingham Music Club’s 108th season offers programs that transforms, uplifts and inspires, starting with a recital by Canadian-American pianist Jacques Després.

This acclaimed pianist has concertized for four decades on three continents through his performances as a soloist with orchestras, solo recitals, collaborative work and recordings. He is equally well-known as a lecture-performance artist, formally with Western Washington University and currently on the faculty at the University of Alberta. Després is unquestionably “A rare combination of virtuosity and artistic integrity.”

Dr. Després’ performance includes three complete major works for the piano: Debussy’s Préludes (Book 1), Brahms’s Three Intermezzi, Op. 117, and Brahms’ Fantasies, Op. 116.

Full-length BMC Night Beat is on Friday, September 8, 7:30pm, at First Congregational Church, 2401 Cornwall Ave. in Bellingham. No ticket purchase is required, and all students are free; we suggest a $20 donation for others. More information on bellinghammusicclub.org.
