A letter from the Executive Director. . .
We have a lot to celebrate this upcoming season! While we could not perform as an orchestra this past year, we were able to shift our focus on our Music For Youth programming virtually and in person with our WSYO and Junior Strings Chamber groups. We led master classes featuring artists such as Sterling Elliott, Molly Hines, Ara Gregorian and others. Our students learned about vibrato and the Alexander Technique and were visited virtually by WSYO alumni. Our chamber program allowed our students to participate in a mentor program with our WSO players as coaches and interact with other students in an intimate setting. Our mission was to keep our music education going strong!
We look forward to our future and are excited to celebrate significant milestones!
50 : 35 : 20!
However, all of this could not have happened without the support of our community. Thank you to our donors, Youth Orchestra and Junior Strings families, fellow arts institutions for allowing us to continue our mission in their spaces, and our WSO musicians for staying patient and now ready to jump back in to the music hall.
We are proud to be a part of a culturally rich community that supports the arts!
See you in the lobby,
Liz Scanlon
Executive Director
We look forward to our future and are excited to celebrate significant milestones!
- In the fall of 1971, the orchestra was formed -- this year we celebrate our 50th Anniversary. On February 20, 1972 the orchestra performed their first concert. So, on February 20, 2022, to the month, to the day and right down to the precise moment we will perform our 50th Anniversary Concert.
- Our conductor, Steven Errante, joined the orchestra in 1986 and will celebrate 35 years as our artistic leader;
- and in 2001 our Wilmington Symphony Youth Orchestra was created . . .

Donate Today.
It is the mission of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra (WSO) to inspire, educate, entertain and involve the children, youth, and adults of our community in the enjoyment of great music. For fifty years, WSO events have touched the lives of thousands of people in the Cape Fear region. But even with a long record of sold-out houses, ticket revenues only cover 40% of the annual operating budget: individual contributions are vital to sustain the mission.
Donations of any size are important . Thank you.
