The Washington Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce receipt of a $7,000 grant from The Heinz Endowments’ Small Arts Initiative to assist with the production of its October 12th concert – “Space – The Final Frontier.”
Grants from The Heinz Endowments’ Small Arts Initiative are designed to further the development of small, professional arts’ organizations by providing support for specific projects or other artistic opportunities.
WSO President Mary C. Courtney said, “The WSO board is honored to be awarded our third grant from the Heinz Endowments’ Small Arts Initiative. Heinz’s financial support allows us to push our artistic boundaries. The October performance will combine great classical music and modern familiar selections that engage the audience in the theme of space exploration. We’ll even have a commissioned piece played to International Space Station footage and a selection accompanied by a soloist playing the electronic theremin."
The Heinz Endowments supports efforts to make southwestern Pennsylvania a premier place to live and work, a center for learning and educational excellence, and a region that embraces diversity and inclusion. Tickets for the WSO’s October 12th “Space – The Final Frontier” performance at Trinity High School at 8:00 p.m. are available on-line at www.washsym.org or by calling 724-223-9796.
