This orchestra will please you - its performance space will amaze!

I have enjoyed the performances of the WVSO for more than ten years, and it gets better and better. Under Maestro Grant Cooper both the musicianship and the programming improved dramatically. When the symphony moved into the Clay Center it found an acoustically superb performance...More

Great performance

We went to see the Nutcracker and it was wonderful. The music was just lush and captivating. My entire family loved the performance and the seating at the Clay Center is great.

Outstanding music and venue

For a city this size, this is a great orchestra. The symphony's home is the Clay Center which is a lovely venue with great acoustics.

A small local orchestra with a big sound

Fortunately, this small town orchestra is a big town feel. No off-pitch tweets and cracks here, the performers are well-practiced and the maestro leads them in style.

Superior orchestra - and you can get tickets!

The orchestra is as good as much better known groups in larger cities (well, many of the musicians also play with the Pittsburg or Cleveland symphonies so this isn't as surprising as it appears at first). A big bonus for this one is that you...More
