Greenville, located 270 kilometres North-East from Atlanta, is a small city in South Carolina, with 60.000 inhabitants and a Symphony Orchestra. The orchestra once was in financial trouble and subsequently saved by a rich man from the country, Wilson Wearn. No, after the death of Wearn’s wife, the orchestra received more money. He left $1 million in his estate for the orchestra. Sherwood Mobley, executive director of the Greenville Symphony, said the $1 million contribution will be placed in an endowment, with only the income being used by the orchestra.
