The Volunteers of the Wilmington Symphony Orchestra
The Note-ables, the volunteer arm of the Wilmington Symphony
Orchestra, was founded in February 2000, to serve the cultural, educational and organizational objectives of the WSO. The
membership, which now stands at over 60, includes a wide cross-
section of the music-loving men and women, youth and seniors,
singles and couples. Included are both those who share their time
and talent on a regular basis and those who volunteer on an as-
needed basis for special events or special projects.
Meetings are held on an occasional basis and are optional. Want to learn more about
the opportunities available? Check out the opportunities below and then email us
