The RPO Celebrates America's 250th Anniversary - All Season!
Join the Richmond Philharmonic Orchestra on Sunday, November 2, 2025 as we open our season with a Masterworks concert celebrating Heroes! 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 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. Join us for some matchday fun at the Richmond Kickers game on Wednesday, September 17th!
