Support The Symphony



The costs associated with operating a symphony orchestra are as extraordinary as the benefits it provides. Perusing this website will give you some idea of the scope of the Wheeling Symphony’s offerings, from its seven-concert Subscription Series, to its annual Young People’s Concert Tour, to its Wheeling Symphony Youth Orchestra.

The generosity and support of the Ohio Valley community have been vital to the Wheeling Symphony’s longevity and success. Each year, loyal donors along with new friends step forward to share in the stewardship of this organization. Please review the opportunities below and then consider how you can best show your support for the WSO.

Annual Symphony Fund: The Symphony Fund Campaign assists the WSO in the presentation of its current season’s offerings and in its ongoing educational and outreach programs. Donations are accepted in all amounts and throughout the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). In addition, donor benefits are provided on an increasing scale.
