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 2023-24 concert season.
We have a rich and varied lineup of music this season and will be joined by world class soloists, including violinist Anton Miller and pianist AnnaMaria Mottola, 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 a few days after Halloween, bringing back our hugely popular Holiday Pops Concert for two performances in early December and will cap off the season in April with a European Tour that includes masterworks by Wagner, Vaughan Williams, Debussy, Rodrigo and Respighi’s Pines of Rome. It’s a season not to be missed!
Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you in the audience.”
–PETER WILSON, Music Director
