The Bellingham Symphony Orchestra continues to launch innovative concerts and programs to enrich the Bellingham arts community and beyond.
Dawn Posey, Concertmaster with the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra, is in her fourth season with the BSO. She first started playing in her father’s community orchestra when she was 13.
Posey is also the go-to person for the BSO’s Trailblazers educational outreach program. She put together a similar series years ago with the chamber group Kassia Ensemble in Pittsburgh and has modified it for a string quartet to take it into as many area schools as possible.
Trailblazers tells the stories of female composers and female historical figures who have paved the way for so many future women to flourish, she explains. Each composer is paired with a trailblazer from their same country. The ensemble plays music and talks about women from Peru, Bolivia, France, China, and the United States.
Posey appreciates the leadership, both artistically and administratively, at the BSO. “It allows me to dream big and play my best,” she says. “The orchestra is a great team, and I always enjoy how everyone brings 110% to our performances.”
