Description:
|
The WSO was founded in 1996 as the Waynesboro Community Orchestra. In its debut concert, 23 musicians performed
works by Lully, Bach and Haydn. Over the past decade the ensemble has grown significantly, having over doubled its
core size and often tripling the original personnel for some repertoire, which now includes works by Beethoven, Copland,
Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert, and Wagner. The ensemble has consistently programmed more challenging literature with
each season, growing a repertoire that includes works from all centuries of the classical tradition. Highlights from recent
seasons include performances of Beethoven’s 5th and 6th Symphonies as well as Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue" and
Copland’s "Lincoln Portrait." The WSO has welcomed members from many communities outside Waynesboro, including
Staunton, Harrisonburg, Charlottesville, and Richmond, while also performing concerts in Staunton in partnership with
Mary Baldwin College as well as fundraising events in Charlottesville. In addition, the orchestra regularly collaborates with
professional soloists while remaining deeply committed to the WSO String School, which provides after school lessons to
young string players.
