Welcome!
“On behalf of the Waynesboro Symphony — the American Prize-winning community orchestra in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley — I’m proud to welcome you to our website and introduce you to our 2022-23 concert season.
We have a rich and varied lineup of music this season and will be joined by world class soloists, including cellist Jennifer Kloetzel and trumpeter Mary Elizabeth Bowden, to round out what promises to be a very fine series of concerts. We’re returning to Charlottesville’s Paramount theater for our Symphonic Masquerade just before Halloween, bringing back our hugely popular Holiday Pops Concert for two performances in early December and will cap off the season in April with Mahler’s iconic 5th Symphony. Do not miss it!
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you in the audience.”
–PETER WILSON, Music Director
