WHEELING -- The Wheeling Symphony Orchestra's season-ending concert at 7:30 p.m. today, Friday, May 10, will be headlined by the award-winning trio Time for Three, fresh off their Grammy win for Best Contemporary Classical Composition.
The WSO will perform that composition, entitled "Contact" by Kevin Puts, alongside Time for Three as the orchestra welcomes them back to Wheeling, the home of their first-ever performance with an orchestra.
Also on this concert, the WSO will feature the "musician's choice" piece for the season. This year, the orchestra has chosen Brahms' Third Symphony -- a work equal parts bombastic, somber and gorgeous.
This concert will open with a new work entitled "Kiskadee" by American composer Arlene Sierra. This commission is a result of the WSO receiving the Virginia B. Toulmin award from the League of American Orchestras for our staunch support of American artists. The WSO will welcome Sierra to Wheeling for the week and to the season-ending concert.
