Maestro Cooper
presents information-filled previews of each symphonic subscription
concert from the stage, starting usually an hour before the concert
that evening. Our guest artists frequently join him during the preview
to discuss important topics relating to the repertoire for that
evening.

Area colleges
and universities have traditionally purchased the rights for their
students to attend WVSO symphonic series on a complimentary basis.
Seating is not guaranteed and is honored on a first-come-first served
basis for Friday night concerts.
Please check
with your local college/university to see if they offer this program.
Open
Rehearsals for Annual Funds Donors
As a special
benefit of their annual fund donation to the Symphony, donors at
a specific level are treated to a number of Open Rehearsals in which
attendees get an inside view of how a concert is put together. Participants
also may have the opportunity to take part in informal briefings
and question and answer sessions with Maestro Cooper.
