Rich Lucas, President of Main Street Bank, is happy to continue the bank’s presenting sponsorship of Symphony on Ice. “Our employees and customers enjoy being a part of this Ohio Valley tradition each year,” says Lucas. “Giving back to the community is an important part of what we do and the Wheeling Symphony is an important part of what makes the Ohio Valley a great place to live and work.”
Symphony on Ice is also supported by a grant from the EQT Foundation, the philanthropic division of EQT Corporation, the nation’s largest producer of natural gas. EQT Foundation President Ellen Rossi notes, “Symphony on Ice is a truly unique community event that combines traditional holiday elements with a new twist each year. We are proud to support the hundreds of students, musicians, skaters and community volunteers who join together each year to create this magical event.”
Paul Tucker, WSO Board Member and Symphony on Ice Chair, explains, “Symphony on Ice has many elements that the audience loves to see and hear every year. For example, “Silent Night” is a beautifully lit piece that showcases even the littlest skaters. But, we also try to add a unique flair to each performance. This year, audience members will be greeted by larger-than-life stilt walkers from Imagine Circus whose incredible holiday costumes will make a great backdrop for photos.”
