Who We Are

The Eastside Symphony is a community orchestra based in Redmond, Washington, under the direction of Alexei Girsh. We present four different concert programs each year, with our repertoire ranging from the classic symphonic works to lesser-known pieces and even new compositions, along with high-caliber soloists.

While we vary in our skills and our time to invest in our playing, we enjoy working together in a relaxed and supportive environment to learn and perform great music, and we welcome like-minded musicians to join us.

• Your holiday concert was the best your group has given. The pieces were fun, the Messiah was solid, and the Bach was so beautiful and sweetly played. It was a top flight performance.
