Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra (WSO) provides symphonic music at the highest degree of excellance through performance opportunities for regional musicians and educational and community outreach programs for our community's youth.

  • Wilmington Symphony Orchestra held a series of performances for the local community, providing performance opportunities for area musicians and providing the region the cultural benefits of a symphony. WSO's orchestra members are drawn from the local community, although some specialty players are attracted from the wider region. During COVID restrictions, when concert performances were cancelled, small groups of WSO members performed at local events which allowed us to continue to provide services on a smaller scale.

    Expenses $382,194 · Revenue $196,569

  • WSO hosts a youth orchestra which provides school-age performers with concert performance opportunities.

    Revenue $6,829

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
