Wheeling Symphony Orchestra to ring In America 250 celebration at Heritage Port
The Wheeling Symphony Orchestra (WSO) will hit the road today for a four-city tour around West Virginia, including their traditional July 4 performance at Heritage Port in downtown Wheeling, W.Va.
With stops in Clarksburg, Weirton, and Canaan Valley, the “Celebrate
America” tour provides communities outside of the Wheeling area with the opportunity to see the WSO perform free of charge.
This year, tenor Edward Washington II will join the WSO on stage throughout the tour. Selections on the program include patriotic classics like “America the Beautiful,” “God Bless America,” and “Stars and Stripes Forever.” The performances in Clarksburg, Weirton, and Wheeling will close with fireworks, accompanied by music from “Star Wars.”
The WSO’s performance at Heritage Port is a longstanding tradition. An all-day event, the July 4 celebrations also include food trucks and beer tents on Heritage Port.
