Our Mission
To promote the art and appreciation of classical orchestral music for audiences of all ages and backgrounds while providing musicians in the Richmond community with the opportunity to display and develop their talents for performance and enjoyment of orchestral music.
Our concerts are 100% free to the public!
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 501(c)(3) 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. Featured Events
