Patrons are requested to silence mobile devices. The use of recording devices and flash photography is prohibited, but we encourage you to take non-flash photos. Tag us on social media using @rvasymphony, /richmondsymphony and/or #rvasymphony. The Richmond Symphony is partially funded by the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts and CultureWorks & the Arts and Cultural Funding Consortium - supported by City of Richmond and the Counties of Hanover & Henrico. Live stream is made possible by Virginia Public Media.

PROGRAM SUMMARY These summer concerts have been made possible by a cross-organizational pivot to live streaming. This is new territory for us and has required a helping hand from our donors, so we would like to say a special thank you to the Allan and Margot Blank Foundation, Tom and Carolyn Garner, Ted and Mary Linhart, and Joe Murillo and Caroline Orlando, through their respective family funds and foundations, for investing in our early development of streaming concerts.

We should also like to thank our great partners Virginia Public Media, VCU School of the Arts | Music Department, and the University of Richmond, for adapting with us in the face of these challenges.

We have received much encouragement to provide “hybrid� concert experiences - both socially distanced in person, and live streamed. Although attending a concert in person is always deemed the optimal experience, the potential for the Richmond Symphony to reach further into Virginia and beyond, through virtual means, is exciting - and an endeavor we hope to continue.

We are grateful that you are joining us for this virtual journey in these unprecedented times, allowing us once more to bring beautiful music to our community, and to lift up all our spirits.

We are looking forward to announcing our adapted Fall program later this month, which will be giving audiences more options and opportunities to be with us than ever before! Sign up to our email mailing list to be the first to know.

Finally, we should like to thank and acknowledge our venue partners here at the Dominion Energy Center – ASM, RPAA, RPAC, and the City of Richmond - for working with us to ensure that the health and safety of our patrons is assured.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS
