Founded in 1947, the Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra (WVSO) has spent eight decades bringing live symphonic music to our community. Through generations of musicians, conductors, and supporters, the orchestra continues to enrich the cultural life of the Wenatchee Valley.

We invite you to join us for the 80th Season Celebration Gala on June 27, 2026, at the Wenatchee Golf & Country Club. This unforgettable evening will honor our rich history and celebrate the vibrant future ahead.

The evening will feature a plated dinner created by the club’s talented culinary team, live music from ensembles of the Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra, and a special performance by Tom McNair, recipient of the 2023 Stanley Lifetime Achievement Award (Volunteer Division) and leader of the local jazz group Jazz Jam Quintet.

Guests will also enjoy a silent auction of local gifts and experiences, fundraising games, and a paddle raise supporting the WVSO’s 2026–2027 season and our Youth Orchestra programs. These programs nurture the next generation of musicians through coaching, ensemble experience, and the inspiring annual side by side performance with the full symphony.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating eight decades of music that has inspired, connected, and uplifted our valley. Here’s to the many more years of artistry and community still ahead—cheers to our future.
