WSO Musician Questionnaire - Wheeling Symphony Orchestra

Our audience wants to get to know you.

The musicians are the beating heart of the WSO—and because of that, our audience wants to know the person behind the instrument.

Please complete this questionnaire. These answers will be used by the WSO marketing team for newspaper profiles, concert program content, email and social media content, and more.

If you have any questions, please reach out to marketing director Sadie Varlas (svarlas@wheelingsymphony.com) and marketing coordinator Johnna Leary (jleary@wheelingsymphony.com).
