 * Keep. I found a few sources: see, , and various others in Newspapers.com and Proquest. Given the likelihood that additional offline sources exist for this century-old symphony, I have little trouble concluding that it's notable. The article needs a great deal of work (and I wouldn't object to stubifying it), but deletion of course is not cleanup. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:36, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to Walla Walla, Washington - some work would need to be done to fit it into the "Fine and performing arts" section. A lot of the information in the article is trivia and the sources don't look independent, but there is at least enough notability for a redirect and a paragraph on the town's article.

 * Keep I found the same two substantial references as Extraordinary Writ and many others that tend to be about specific concerts or in local papers. There are two books I found specifically about the orchestra that do not look to be self published but without reading them I can't make my own assessment of editorial independence to see if they contribute to notability. As it stands the article is substantial but needs referencing and it looks as if with references to reliable sources (and the books may well contribute here, if not for notability) a worthwhile revamped version could be produced.
