Welcome to the Richmond Philharmonic's 2016-2017 Concert Season with our Music Director, Peter Wilson. We are preparing a season of music consisting of enduring favorites: the music of Haydn, Dvorak, Brahms and many others; as well as exciting new music: The world premiere of Elena Ruehr's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra. This premiere performance is part of our Winter Concert dedicated solely to the music of female American composers. Learn more about this season here.

As Central Virginia's premier community orchestra, our ensemble is comprised of fine musicians from all walks of life who dedicate themselves to the daily practice, weekly rehearsal, and year-long planning required to present full seasons of the world's great music. We do this as volunteers, not only because we love to play, but also because we care passionately about sharing great music with our audiences.
