The RPO Celebrates America's 250th Anniversary - All Season!

Join the Richmond Philharmonic Orchestra for its 54th season as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday! We have two Holiday Pops concerts:

Our concerts are 100% free to the public!

Support the RPO

For over 50 years, we've offered free, high-quality orchestral concerts to the Richmond community, while giving our local musicians the opportunity to perform history's greatest music. But, we need your help. 
As a non-profit arts organization, raising funds for our yearly operational costs is tough. A full season can cost us anywhere from $30,000 to $40,000. All of our musicians volunteer their time for rehearsals, but many also contribute behind the scenes – paying member dues, baking desserts for receptions, managing our music library & rental contracts – the commitment really shows.
Please, consider supporting us so we can continue to share our music for another 50 years! Whether you attend our concerts, volunteer your talents, or just spread the word, we truly couldn't do it without you.
