elcome to today's performance of the Sammamish Symphony Orchestra. W As I celebrate my 11th year with this group of talented musicians, it is gratifying to reflect upon the remarkable growth the Orchestra has achieved over the years. The dedication and diligence of each member is evident in the ever improving level of artistry displayed in each performance.

Now, I invite you to sit back and enjoy the concert!

Pine Lake Park Concert - 2009

The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra performs on the Sammamish Plateau and various locations in the area. It is committed to offering quality music at affordable prices for Eastside residents. This volunteer ensemble provides the opportunity for talented, dedicated musicians to perform with a full symphony orchestra. In addition, the Orchestra promotes involvement in the arts for young musicians who are given the chance to participate in classical and pops concerts.

Now in its seventeenth season, the Sammamish Symphony began as the Providence Point Players, and has grown in size and stature to become an integral part of the Eastside artistic community. What started as a handful of musicians has evolved into a dynamic musical organization. In April of this year the Orchestra enjoyed a great success in its debut performance at Benaroya Hall in Seattle, appearing with other Northwest performing arts groups. PROGRAM
