The Bellevue Philharmonic played its final concert in July, bowing to financial strain after 43 years of concerts—but flutes will trill again this weekend under a different baton. The Seattle Times reported yesterday that several members of the Phil have joined the newly formed Candlelight Concerts Orchestra, which makes its debut December 15 with a holiday concert on Mercer Island. Western Washington orchestra director Arthur Shaw will conduct a program of seasonal Vivaldi, Haydn, and Corelli selections at Emmanuel Episcopal Church on Thursday night, followed by a concert at St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Bellevue on Saturday. The Times has the details.
