Rebecca Clarke Lecture

Join the Bellingham Chamber Music Society for a special event as we launch our 5th season! Paying tribute to four composers featured in Leah Broad’s book Quartet: How Four Women Challenged the Music World, we will be joined by Christopher Johnson, composer Rebecca Clarke’s great-nephew for a lecture on Saturday September 26th 2026 from 2-4pm in the Hotel Leo’s Social Lounge. Johnson worked with Clarke to catalogue her compositions in the last decade of her life and runs the official Rebecca Clarke website, https://rebeccaclarkecomposer.com

He will bring to life this musician and composer who Gramophone called “one of the very best of her time,” and “almost certainly the best composer of any period to have also been a woman.” 

The BCMS event is free of charge- but a ticket is required.
