Masonic Amphitheater & Park, West Virginia Jazz Orchestra

The West Virginia Jazz Orchestra was formed in 2000 by Joe Buttram, Peter Hill, & Gary Williams and quickly selected Jeff Bryant as their music director. The group, made up of 21 performers, plays mostly music from the Big Band era. The band has two vocalists and performs locally for a variety of occasions. The West Virginia Jazz Orchestra is committed to serving as a charitable, literary, and educational organization serving the Greenbrier Valley and the Allegheny Highlands.

The Masonic Amphitheatre and Park is a state-of-the-art outdoor facility and park that opened in June 2012.  The Amphitheatre’s season presents a diverse program of musical entertainment, plays, and festivals, runs from April to early October. The Amphitheatre seats 500 people with bench seating and the Amphitheatre lawn which invites lawn chairs and blankets for individuals and families to enjoy every event.  Most of the programs offered are free of charge or donation only and many showcase local Alleghany Highlands’ talent. The Amphitheatre is available to rent by organizations, businesses, and non-profits. Performers are thrilled with the acoustics and the sound that the Amphitheatre provides.
