Ohio Valley Music Guild

For over 16 years, the Ohio Valley Music Guild, an Ohio-based 501(c)3 Charitable Organization, has been providing quality events and entertainment, arts/culture preservation, and music scholarships to many throughout the Ohio Valley.

During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the Music Guild brought you a virtual concert by Pittsburgh’s Ashley Marina (which you can watch on our YouTube channel); continued to support the Grand Theater Project; and awarded our annual music scholarship to Mollie Vonderhaar from Xavier University.

With your support in 2021, we hope to continue our programs and mission of “providing quality entertainment at affordable prices to the Ohio Valley.” As we begin to plan events and other programs, your support is needed more than ever. Whether you are joining the Guild for the first time or renewing your membership, we hope you will help support us, starting at only $20 per person. Other membership levels are available including Bronze ($50), Silver ($100), and Gold ($200+); each includes membership for up to 2 individuals (i.e., couples, etc.). All members will be designated in our event programs and on our website. Any gift is greatly appreciated.

Corporate sponsorships are also available. Our Sponsorship levels for 2021 are 1/3 Page Ad Sponsor ($75), a 1/2 Page Ad Sponsor ($125), and a Full Page Ad Sponsor ($200). Each level includes its noted ad size in our event programs, a post per event mentioning your support on our Social Media, a mention on each event’s post on our website, and recognition and a backlink on our website. In addition, we will add your company as a Courtesy Music Guild member, ensuring you receive all our mailings (including invitations to our events). In addition, we will provide one (1) complimentary ticket (once; NOT per event) for our 1/2 Page Ad Sponsors and two (2) complimentary tickets (once; NOT per event) for our Full Page Ad Sponsors.

For the first time, you may purchase your membership or sponsorship online by visiting https://ovmusicguild.square.site/. You may also send a check to Ohio Valley Music Guild, P.O. Box 2158, Wintersville, Ohio 43953.

The Entertainment Committee and the entire Ohio Valley Music Guild Board thank you for joining us on April 28, 2019, for “A Classical Evening with Members of the Pittsburgh Opera.”

The evening featured four Pittsburgh Opera Resident Artists [Antonia Botti-Lodovico (Mezzo-soprano), Terrence Chin-Loy (Tenor), Caitlin Gotimer (Soprano), and Mark Trawka (Pianist)] showcasing their talents through a variety of musical selections from composers including Offenbach, Verdi, Puccini, Bizet, Lehar, Piazzolla, Lerner and Loewe, Loesser, Heisler and Goldrich, and DuPrez and Idle. In addition, a cocktail supper buffet nourished the attendees.
