Lake Washington Symphony Orchestra is reborn from the ashes of the Bellevue Philharmonic

Michael Miropolsky directs

The newly formed Lake Washington Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Michael Miropolsky, will present its inaugural concert 3:00pm on March 9th at the Lake Washington High School Performing Arts Center in Kirkland.

Featured works will include Die Fledermaus Overture by Johann Strauss Jr., Swedish Rhapsody No. 1 by Hugo Alfvén, Bizet’s Carmen Suite No. 2, and Scheherazade Op 35 by Rimsky-Korsakov.

The Lake Washington Symphony Orchestra is a group of professional musicians who previously played together as the Bellevue Philharmonic Orchestra. The BPO folded in 2011 for financial reasons, but the musicians have remained committed to keeping the orchestra alive and have been working to reorganize under a new board of directors. They are pleased to continue performing under the direction of conductor Michael Miropolsky, who took the orchestra to its peak of musical artistry during the BPO's last two seasons.

TICKETS online or by phone 1-800-838-3006, $15-$25. Lake Washington High School Performing Arts Center, 12033 NE 80th St, Kirkland 98033. For more information, contact Beverly Setzer, Board President, 206-307-7418.
