wcfsymphony is a professional orchestra based in Waterloo-Cedar Falls, Iowa. Our mission is redefining the symphonic experience through live performances and community engagement. To this end we pursue inventive, contemporary approaches to ensemble performance as a means of engaging audiences more meaningfully in live music.

The Courier hails our ‘innovative programming, inventive collaborations and interesting, sometimes surprising twists [which] make each concert a musical adventure.’ Our Artistic Director Jason Weinberger is known nationally for his work across genres and for his approachable, exciting style of presentation and interpretation, all typical of our work under his leadership. We are also unique among our peer ensembles for our singular dedication to American music, particularly new work from around the country and from within our state.

As a fine arts and entertainment mainstay in northeast Iowa for the past 87 years we are deeply connected to the life of our community, particularly through our long-standing efforts to share music with young people and to advocate for education and the arts in our region. We apply the highest artistic and programmatic standards to our educational work in the belief that great art offered with passion, insight and joy can change lives at any age.

In addition to our focus on arts education, we are extremely proud of our leadership role in fostering creative collaborations with both individual artists and partner organizations in northeast Iowa. We are also involved in advocacy for the arts as one of fifty six Cultural Leadership Partners of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs (organizations with ‘exemplary records of programming and managerial excellence and community service’)

wcfsymphony serves the Waterloo-Cedar Falls metro region and surrounding communities in northeast Iowa, a geographic area spreading east and west of the Cedar River with a cumulative population of roughly 200,000 individuals.
