Mission Statement
"To make classical music more accessible to the community."
Description
In 2014, a group of musicians came together with the same goal: to reach out to different and diverse communities with high-quality classical music, lowering ticket costs to make it easily accessible for everyone. Our musicians are active in their musical careers as soloists, chamber musicians, orchestral players, and professors. Since the WCO's inaugural year, we have visited and performed in many different venues and cities throughout Maryland, D.C, and N. Virginia areas to fulfill our mission. The WCO plans to continue our mission as an ambassador of classical music to people of all ages and cultures without compromising quality.
