Also
on Thursday, Teah Bayless presented a $5000 grant to the
Wheeling Symphony Voices & Music Program on behalf of the
Robert H. Mollohan Family Charitable Foundation, Inc.
The Voices & Music Program, in its third year of
providing music education, is an outreach program of the
Wheeling Symphony. The
goal of the program is to use the very basic “elements of
music, voice, and movement to connect with at-risk youth and
provide them with greater confidence and added incentives for
excelling in school.” This Community Outreach Grant will
provide funds to buy instruments, music, and curriculum
materials for the Voices & Music Program
