Our ensemble has performed by invitation in NYC's Carnegie Hall and Washington D.C.'s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. If you play an orchestral instrument and would like to join us, please contact Music Director/Conductor, Dr. Scott Woodard, at scott.woodard@wvstateu.edu. Come join the fun!
