Sonja Thoms is expanding the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra’s community presence through an innovative outreach strategy. Building on her decades of experience with the League of American Orchestras, Thoms recently established the WSO Community Choir, which will make its debut performing alongside the Symphony this season. Her plans include bringing the established Wheeling Youth Orchestra under the WSO’s umbrella and launching a Community Orchestra to give recreational adult musicians performance opportunities. These initiatives align with the League’s evolving vision, which increasingly emphasizes youth development and community engagement.
