Summer Pops

The Richmond Philharmonic Orchestra is excited to present our Summer 2024 Pops Concert. Our theme this year is “Hey Barbie!”, a musical celebration of Barbie, Barbaras, Barbers, and Pink! This concert will feature musical selections from and inspired by the international blockbuster, Barbie, to classical favorites such as Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture and Rossini’s Barber of Seville Overture, as well as patriotic favorites honoring our country and its heroes - all at the Virginia War Memorial.
