The Wheeling Symphony Youth Orchestra’s annual Bluegrass BBQ fundraiser is
scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 2, 2016. The Bluegrass BBQ will be held at
Oglebay’s Hess Shelter from 3-6 p.m. with live entertainment to be provided
by the bands Cabin Fever and Out of the Blue.
The BBQ raises money to support the Wheeling Symphony Youth Orchestra
(WSYO). The WSYO offers talented young musicians from the tri-state area a tuition-free,
formal venue in which to train and perform together.
The WSYO is made up of the Sinfonietta, with students from 6th through 9th
grades under Rayce Leib. Older Students perform in the WSYO Philharmonic
under Dr. Matthew Inkster.
The WSYO performs a fall and spring concert featuring each group during the
school year.
The 2016 Bluegrass BBQ will be catered by Later Gator.
The Wheeling Symphony Youth Orchestra is grateful to Wheeling Hospital,
Dinsmore & Shohl, and Main Street Bank for their generous sponsorship of
this year’s event.
Tickets are $20 for adults and $7 for students. Tickets may be purchased at
the door or in advance by calling the WSO offices at: 304-232-6191.
Reservations are also being accepted by email at wsyouthorch@gmail.com.
