Bassoonist is a former Blaine resident
Grammy-nominated bassoonist Martin Kuuskmann is gearing up for a much-anticipated performance with the Whatcom Symphony.

Guests of the upcoming performance will hear Symphony No. 2 by Mozart’s contemporary, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Mozart’s Bassoon Concerto and “Jupiter” Symphony, the latter of which was named 30 years after Mozart’s death.
“We are delighted to welcome Martin Kuuskmann back to Whatcom County to join us for Mozart’s birthday celebration,” said music director Yaniv Attar in a press release.
“Kuuskmann’s charisma and dynamism is something special to behold, and I know our audiences will enjoy this fabulous tribute to Mozart,” she added.
