The Washington Symphony Orchestra recently received a grant of $10,000 from the EQT Foundation.

The funding is designated for the WSO’s next offering, “Ho Ho Ho with the WSO,” which will be performed twice at Trinity High School in Washington—once on Saturday, December 2 at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday, December 3 at 3 p.m. This is the WSO’s second grant award from the EQT Foundation.

“This grant award from The EQT Foundation to sponsor our holiday concerts is a wonderful demonstration of the scope of their community support. The WSO is grateful to again be a recipient of their generosity,” said WSO Board President Monica Merrell. “For every new season the WSO can present our concerts, many thanks are due to our business partners and individual donors and all of the patrons who come to hear us perform. The holiday concert is a wonderful introduction to the WSO, so for those who have not yet heard us, please take this opportunity to come and enjoy the music.”
