WHEELING -- The Wheeling Symphony Orchestra will present two WSO on the GO performances for April -- "The Music of Claude Bolling" at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 7, at Oglebay's Mansion Museum, and a string trio ensemble "Trio Simone" performance at 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 9, at Leonardo's Coffeehouse & Renaissance Coffee Roasting Co. in Steubenville.
Performers at the Oglebay show will include Elisa Kohanski, cello; Barbara O'Brien, flute; Jeffrey Mangone, bass; Rodrigo Ojeda, piano; and Dylan Moffitt, drums.
The string trio at the Steubenville show is comprised of WSO musicians Ann Moskal, violin; Jennifer Mangone, viola; and Jeffrey Mangone, bass.
"WSO on the Go is a great way to experience live music in a more intimate setting than the concert hall," said Betsy Delk, WSO director of institutional advancement.
Bolling, the late jazz pianist and composer, played and composed in a variety of styles and his "Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano" spent more than 10 years on the Billboard classic album chart. The WSO on the Go performance will feature this suite along with Bolling's "Suite for Cello and Jazz Piano."
The WSO on the Go performance at Leonardo's will feature "Trio Simone," which originated in the summer of 2016 as three members of the WSO String section who performed for longtime WSO supporter Simone Ziegler on the sad occasion of her son's memorial service. The group was proud to represent the WSO for such a special person, and from that point on mutually agreed upon the name "Trio Simone."
Because of the generous support of our sponsors and donors, including title sponsor Roxby Labs all WSO on the GO concerts and events are free to the public to entice, and encourage new audiences to become long-time supporters.
