Who We Are

The Friends of the Westfield Symphony Orchestra is a social and fundraising auxiliary group of the WSO comprised of men and women from Westfield and surrounding communities who are passionate about supporting the arts, their communities and are looking to make long lasting and fulfilling relationships with like-minded people.  Established in 1983, the “Friends” has an ever expanding membership of dynamic people who eagerly plan entertaining events for the general membership, and the community at large.
