The Muskingum Valley Symphonic Winds(MVSW) was founded by Muskingum University Professor of Music, Dr. William Schlacks, in 1993 when the Muskingum Valley Community Band was converted to a semi-professional organization with patrons. The performances of the MVSW have had an emphasis on continuing to build an audience through collaboration and joint concerts with various Muskingum University student and faculty music ensembles as well as soloists which represent not only Muskingum University Music Faculty, but Music Faculty from universities outside of Ohio.

About Celebrate New Concord

Celebrate New Concord has reached over 17,000 audience members since its founding in 2001 by the late Muskingum University music professor Dr. William Schlacks. He and his co-director, the late Rod Lang, also of Muskingum University, worked with the Celebrate New Concord committee and village leadership to bring high-quality, family-friendly summer entertainment in an informal environment. Performances feature a variety of musical and other entertainment genres. The concerts are traditionally held on Tuesdays in June, July and August.

Celebrate New Concord is funded entirely through individual and business contributions. Committee members serve as volunteers.
