Situated on a pier in historic Fairhaven and surrounded by water on three sides, the domed atrium at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal is an idyllic location for a chamber music concert. The terminal is the southern starting point for the Alaska Marine Highway System, the nation’s first marine Scenic Highway. The view is breathtaking; the performances even more so.
