WV Symphony Orchestra - Parkersburg

You may not recognize the titles on the program, but you definitely know the tunes. These are the "original hits"—melodies so catchy and dramatic they’ve been used in movies, commercials, and pop culture for centuries.

Join a select ensemble of WVSO musicians on our main stage for a relaxed, high-def experience of the music that shaped the world. No tuxedos, no program notes required—just legendary music.

Timeless Melodies

Blennerhasset School

The magic of the holidays isn't just something you see—it's something you hear. "Sounds of the Season" is our most energetic, family-focused concert of the year, bringing the full West Virginia Symphony Orchestra and the Symphony Chorus of Parkersburg together for a celebration that will have kids and adults alike tapping their toes.

From the sparkle of falling snow to the thunderous joy of a full choir, this is the holiday tradition your family won’t want to miss.

Sounds of the Season

As the world turns green again, join the WVSO for "Spring Awakenings," a concert that captures the literal and emotional feeling of a fresh start. This program features a world-class violin soloist and a symphony that was written in a fever of inspiration—perfect for anyone looking to shake off the winter blues.

Spring Awakenings

The WVSO is trading in the 18th century for the 20th as we celebrate the "Piano Man" himself. This isn't just a tribute; it’s a high-octane collision between the power of a live symphony and the rock-and-roll energy of a Madison Square Garden legend.

To bring these iconic songs to life, we are welcoming back Tony DeSare. He’s not just a pianist; he’s a powerhouse performer who captures the grit and the soul of Billy Joel’s greatest hits.

Billy Joel Tribute

We’re closing the season with a "triple threat" of music that is powerful, exotic, and legendary. This isn't just a concert; it’s a celebration of rhythm and emotion that spans from the American Civil Rights movement to the high-energy beats of India, ending with one of the greatest symphonies ever written.

If you want to experience the full "engine" of the orchestra at maximum volume, this is the one.
