Western Piedmont Symphony (WPS), the professional orchestra of the western foothills of North Carolina, presents a nine-month season of concerts and events in 2025-2026. From classical Masterworks and dynamic Foothills Pops performances and youth orchestras and music education experiences, WPS reaches a vast cross-section of audiences and partners.
This season, we've gone green with a year-round digital program book! Program books are available online any time and include click-through links to YOUR business, driving traffic and ROI for your company. See a sample our our recent digital program books here.
We invite you to join a group of respected businesses, retail establishments, local cultural partners, and regional service providers who advertise in our season program book. It is published twice a season to accompany our diverse series of concerts and events.
Our free playbill is not only an invaluable reference for Western Piedmont Symphony patrons, donors, and fans, it is an ideal vehicle for the delivery of your message. Imagine the impact your business can make when 10,000 people see your support for the arts. If you purchase the highest cost ad ($1,000) and just 50% of our audience each season spent $5 at your business, your return on investment (ROI) would be 200%. Not only that, but it also sends a strong message to potential customers that you are invested in our community and the cultural well-being of its residents.
By advertising in the WPS program book, you will not only gain exposure for your business but also provide vital financial support that enables us to produce thrilling concert experiences, inspiring music education programs, and meaningful community conversations. Western Piedmont Symphony serves as an economic driver and cultural leader in the Catawba Valley and western foothills of North Carolina. You can be part of the movement to make music accessible to anyone and everyone.
