It’s the WSO’s 95th birthday!
As we begin our 95th anniversary season, we will start the year-long process of celebrating our beloved community, symphony, and the relationship between the two. We will open our 95th season with a kaleidoscopic concert that honors our past, highlights our present, and looks forward to our bright future. Eight WSO players will take center stage as soloists for this performance, and the evening’s selections pay tribute to the WSO’s past and significant historical figures in the Ohio Valley’s musical community.
The program for our kickoff concert covers everything from John Williams to Vivaldi, Clarice Assad to Mahler. To celebrate the start of our 95th season, the evening will begin with the Overture to The Barber of Seville—a selection that the WSO performed during our inaugural season in 1929.
