SUMMARY:Steve Earle: Fifty Years of Songs and Stories
DESCRIPTION:Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark\, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right\, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash\, Waylon Jennings\, Joan Baez\, Emmylou Harris\, The Pretenders\, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his record\, Guitar Town\, which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Most recently\, Earle’s 1988 hit Copperhead Road was made an official state song of Tennessee in 2023.  \n\n\n\nSubsequent releases like The Revolution Starts…Now (2004)\, Washington Square Serenade (2007)\, and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Jerry Jeff\, released in 2022\, consisted of Earle’s versions of songs written by Jerry Jeff Walker\, one of his mentors.  \n\n\n\nEarle has published both a novel I’ll Never Get Out ofThis World Alive (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2011) and Dog House Roses\, a collection of short stories (Houghton Mifflin 2003).Earle produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez (Day After Tomorrow) and Lucinda Williams (Car Wheels on A Gravel Road)  \n\n\n\nAs an actor\, Earle has appeared in several films and had recurringroles in the HBO series The Wire and Tremé. In 2009\, Earle appeared in the off-Broadway play Samara\, for which he also wrote a score that The New York Times described as “exquisitely subliminal.” Earle wrote music for and appeared in Coal Country\, for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Earle is the host of the weekly show Hard Core Troubadour on Sirius Radio’s Outlaw Country channel.  \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, Earle was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. And in 2023\, Steve was honored by the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. Steve’s latest album\, “Alone Again (Live)”\, released on July 12th\, 2024. \n\n\n\nWITH SPECIAL GUEST MAX GOMEZ \n\n\n\nSinger/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos\, New Mexico\, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. As a budding performer\, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of Northern New Mexico\, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphy and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country.  \n\n\n\nHe received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013\, New West Records); and his subsequent EP\, Me and Joe (2017\, Brigadoon Records)\, contained a freshly minted classic\, “Make It Me.” \n\n\n\nHe has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like James McMurty\, Buddy Miller\, John Hiatt\, Patty Griffin\, Tommy James & The Shondells\, Jeff Beck\, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps\, Gomez is poised to emerge as a prominent voice of Americana’s next generation. The forth coming album\, Memory Mountain\, is set to be released August 2025.

Stayin’ Alive is the quintessential tribute band to the Bee Gees\, capturing the excitement of live performance and the lender subtleties of the human voice.

SUMMARY:CHOPIN\, THE BEAUTIFUL!
DESCRIPTION:Pianist Barbara Nissman returns to Carnegie Hall to present a third season of Carnegie Classics\, a three- part concert series designed to introduce classical music to new audiences\, as well as inspiring and entertaining all music enthusiasts. \n\n\n\nHosted by Steinway “legend” and recent 2023 West Virginia Music Hall of Fame inductee\, Nissman invites the listener to travel with her to explore the composers’ world. She makes listening easy and  music meaningful\, and she shares her joy and passion for her composer “friends” and their great music with all of us. No education is required— just a set of ears to listen and an open heart to receive the joys of music! \n\n\n\nThe final Classics Series concert\, Chopin\, the Beautiful!\, includes a performance of the Second Piano Concerto that Chopin arranged for piano and string quintet so he could play it himself in the elegant salons of his Parisian patrons. Barbara will be joined by five West Virginian musician friends for that special performance and will also share with us some scenes from Chopin’s life and music. \n\n\n\n“What a joy for me to return for another season of great music performed on the beautiful Steinway at our wonderful Carnegie Hall! With this series we are expanding the audience for classical music\, and it is so gratifying for me to share with my community the music that I love so much. We all need more joy in our lives these days\, and music has the power to transport us into a magical world.” – Barbara Nissman \n\n\n\n​

SUMMARY:Salome

SUMMARY:95th Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:We end our 95th season with a huge birthday bash\, in a true celebration of our community! \n\n\n\nThe concert kicks off with a new composition from Dr. Matthew Harder\, Professor of Music at West Liberty University\, inspired by the impact of the WSO over the last 95 years. Equally exciting\, the new Wheeling Symphony Orchestra Community Choir will make its debut on this opening piece. We will then have another world premiere—that’s two on one concert!—that pays tribute to the wide impact of the WSO and our musicians. Jonathan Kolm’s commissioned work will feature WSO Principal Cellist Elisa Kohanski\, whose dedication to performing on every continent around the world inspired this composition. After intermission\, the WSO warmly welcomes André Raphel\, the WSO Conductor Laureate back to the stage to conduct Ravel’s whirlwind La Valse.  \n\n\n\nThe concert—and our season!—will close with Ravel’s effervescent Suite no. 2 from Daphnis and Chloe\, celebrating not only our 95th anniversary but also the 150th anniversary of Ravel’s birth. This three-movement work will once again feature the Wheeling Symphony Community Choir in this musical painting of the famous fantasy story in the perfect capstone to a celebratory season.
