The Legacy Society of the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra

You are invited to play a part in the future of the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra by joining the The Legacy Society , a special group of friends who have designated a special gift, bequest, trust or other planned giving arrangement to benefit the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra's future. By generating income from the principal, these generous gifts to the endowment fund ensure the WVSO's artistic progress, educational programs, and operational capacity well beyond the 21st century.

When you notify the WVSO about your gift, whether intended or received, you will become a member of our growing Legacy Society. As a member, you will be invited to special Society events and activities, and we will recognize you in Symphony publications. If you prefer to remain anonymous, we will honor your request; however, by stepping forward, others will be encouraged to do the same.
