Art Project

1) To remain dedicated to providing an opportunity for life-long musical expression and the enjoyment of orchestral music for musicians and audiences of all ages. 2) To perform orchestral literature which presents a technical and artistic challenge to its players. 3) To feature a piece composed by our conductor highlighting the talents of soloist Chris Hill on clarinet for which the part was written. 4) To feature an artist within our community and celebrate local talent by programming a masterwork piece for piano soloist Kurt Haag, Worthington High School math teacher. 5) To provide bus transportation for Adult Basic Education students in our community to attend a rehearsal and encourage their participation in the arts in our community. 6) To establish an additional paid position of Principal Violin II and expand the musical leadership offerings within our orchestra. For outcomes from this project, WASO desires to provide an opportunity for local musicians to actively participate in the arts while creating an educational, entertaining and engaging program for an audience to enjoy. WASO continually seeks to expand its audience and include new attendees to experience the arts. WASO will evaluate the rehearsals and concert through ongoing communication between WASO's conductor, the Leadership Team, and their musicians. Written surveys will be filled out by WASO musicians and concert attendees. An additional part of the success of the concert will come from the number of people attending the concert and completing the evaluation and contribution forms. Results from the written evaluations will be gathered and recorded by the Leadership Team, shared with the WASO conductor and WASO musicians. Survey results along with the feedback and response from musicians and audience members will aid WASO in determining future endeavors and projects for their organization.
