History of the Sammamish Symphony Orchestra

The Sammamish Symphony Orchestra, led by Conductor and Music Director, R. Joseph Scott, is a nonprofit organization based on the Sammamish Plateau. Incorporated in 1994, the orchestra began as the Providence Point Players and has grown from a handful of musicians to a full symphony orchestra. Made up primarily of Eastside residents, the ensemble provides the opportunity for talented, dedicated musicians to perform in an adult orchestra. The Sammamish Symphony is committed to developing and maintaining an enthusiastic and supportive audience by becoming an integral part of the local Eastside community and providing quality music at an affordable price for everyone. In particular, the orchestra promotes involvement in the arts for the young people of our community, including outreach programs and other learning opportunities for youth.
