Independence Day is just around the corner! Be sure to catch the Bellevue Philharmonic Orchestra at the Symetra Bellevue Family 4th playing their final concert.
The Bellevue Philharmonic has been around since the 60′s, and over the years has created a strong and fruitful partnership with downtown Bellevue’s annual Fourth of July celebration. As is tradition, the Bellevue Philharmonic’s performance will be synchronized to the fireworks display.
The farewell concert includes a superb lineup of patriotic anthems, encompassing classic pieces as well as those lesser known. The concert will have two parts; the pre-fireworks program which begins at 9:30 p.m. and the fireworks program which begins at 10:05 p.m.
