WSO Receives Heinz Grant
Washington Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce receipt
of a $7000 grant from The Heinz Endowments’ Small Arts
Initiative. The grant is designed to further the development
of small, professional arts organizations by providing
support for specific projects or other artistic
opportunities. WSO President Maryann B. Weinstein said that,
“Our WSO board is very pleased to be recognized and
supported by The Heinz Endowments in our tenth season. The
grant funds will assist with the overall production and
performance costs of our upcoming “Heroes” concert on
Saturday, February 11, 2012.”
“Our orchestra continues to reach out to entertain and
educate the entire region about classical music, and we have
watched our fan base grow from around the area in our first
decade. We have gained many local Washington County
supporters along the way, and it’s nice to now have a
regional foundation like Heinz recognizing our organization
with its support.” said WSO Vice President Monica Merrell.
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.
