Why Support The RSO?

The Richmond Symphony Orchestra has continued on an upward trajectory of excellence in both musicianship and outreach through youth education. Thanks to your generous support, we have brought back our education concert where 850 students get to experience the orchestra in a fresh way! This, as well as our Musicians in Schools program and our 10 RSO Scholars, help us continue our mission to create a positive community impact and ensure RSO is A Place To Belong! Financial gifts given to RSO will be matched by an anonymous donor, so consider giving today! Thank you! 

RSO's 25-26 concert season

A Place To Belong

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.


Lyricism & Depth

RSO takes the stage to explore a wide depth of sound. From the bluesy African folk themes of Coleridge-Taylor, to the progressive tonality of Nielsen, the orchestra will highlight the range of sound between these composers. The music for the evening culminates with Maestro Lopera’s favorite composer, Brahms, the romantic!

We will see you Saturday, November 15th at 7:30!


Congratulations RSO Scholars

The RSO, in partnership with Earlham College and IU East, has selected 10 dedicated Richmond High School music students to be part of our 2025-2026 program.

What Our Audience Says About RSO

"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

Girls Inc Website

"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
