This idea has always been central to our work at RSO. Our organization is rooted in the belief that the orchestra must be a space of access, engagement, and belonging for everyone we currently serve and those we are still striving to reach.
Interested in being a part of The Richmond Symphony Orchestra? RSO currently has two openings, as well as our substitute application. Information for each position is available on our Auditions page!

We are partnering with Earlham College, IU East, and community donors to provide an opportunity for students to grow in their musical skills. This program offers one on one weekly lessons and other musical opportunities.
Our RSO Scholars for 2025-2026 will be announced soon!
"I've shared with so many people the feeling of optimism and hope I have for the future of music and the arts that I have after leaving an RSO concert."
—Janette Brown, parent of RSO violinist, Lafayette Symphony Executive Director
"As a parent, I've seen the Richmond Symphony Orchestra do something truly special - it inspires our children in ways that stay with them. Their performances don't just entertain; they have the potential to awaken imagination, build confidence, and show just how powerful music can be. After one concert, our daughter Eleanor decided to take up the violin. That moment opened a door to a passion for music and the performing arts, and we've watched her grow in creativity ever since. Thank you, RSO, for creating these moments of wonder - for our children, and for our whole community."
—Alicia Painter, parent, Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County, CFO
"Attending the Richmond Symphony Orchestra for the first time was nothing short of an amazing experience. I was incredibly moved not only by the outstanding musicians, but also by seeing so many from our community come together to support the arts."
—Ashlynn McKee, first time attendee, Girls Inc of Wayne County Director of Operations
The RSO newsletter will make sure you are up to date on what the symphony has planned on the stage and in the community.
