Concerts & Events

Help the WSO kickoff our year-long process of celebrating our 95th birthday, featuring our own WSO musicians front and center as concert soloists. From Vivaldi to Mahler to John Williams, this kaleidoscopic performance will showcase the immense talent found in our very own orchestra.

Mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile joins the WSO to perform his new concerto ATTENTION!, which he describes as “a narrative song cycle for extroverted mandolinist and orchestra”, in this Masterworks performance that honors our Appalachian heritage.

Featuring music inspired by National Parks, this Masterworks performance celebrates the relationship between music and nature–including a tribute to West Virginia’s New River Gorge.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WSO! Our 95th Birthday Bash will celebrate our rich history while eagerly looking towards the future, with performances from WSO Principal Cellist Elisa Kohanski, WSO Conductor Laureate André Raphel, and the new WSO community choir.
