An Introduction



Welcome to RSO All Access. This is a blog dedicated to the nooks and crannies of life surrounding the Richmond Symphony. Before we get started we want to thank you for stopping by our little portion of this great big digital world. We hope you will find the content of this page to be entertaining and informative. So, thank you for clicking your way here!

Since its founding in 1957, the Richmond Symphony has grown into a vital part of the world of arts and entertainment in central Virginia. This non-profit organization makes over 200 public performances each season and has collaborated with the likes of Itzhak Perlman, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Jeremy Denk, Christopher O'Riley, Gil Shaham, and many others in the past fifty three years.

The Richmond Symphony is about to open its 54th season under the newly appointed leadership of Maestro Steven Smith. We hope you will enjoy this peek into the inner workings of the orchestra and all of the people who work every day to bring the music to you.

Here we go!

There's No Place Like Home!

We wanted to give you guys a look at our home, Richmond CenterStage. This recently renovated venue is home to several performing arts organizations including the Richmond Symphony.

A Letter From Steven Smith

Can't wait to get to Richmond!


The anticipation is exhilarating since it's been a long time coming. The cross country drive from New Mexico in a few weeks will be a great way to ponder this next step in life's journey.

I've been learning so much about the vibrancy of the arts in Richmond. There is such a buzz of energy about the galleries, museums, schools and the performing arts. It really underlies the interplay and richness of the arts about which I feel very strongly. I'm very excited about the prospects of finding ways to bring artistic expression and the many creative spirits we have in town together in engaging, thought-provoking and entertaining projects.


CenterStage is such a fantastic new hot spot in the downtown scene. It transcends the idea of a single concert hall, encompassing many cool spaces. I want to see CenterStage and its resident organizations, especially the Symphony, send out waves of imagination and creativity from our core throughout the region. Being a part of First Fridays expanding east is a great step. but beyond that, I hope that those of us that work and play there can harness the energy and enthusiasm we have and unite with others to collectively dream of new possibilities.


"We are such stuff as dreams are made on..." as ol' Bill Shakespeare says in "The Tempest." It is a thought that at once captures life's fleeting nature and the hopefulness for making the most of it all the time. Composers from Tchaikovsky to Duke Ellington to Sting have been inspired by these thoughts. Connections like that between literature, visual arts, drama and music are the possibilities we can dream on.

What a fantastic place to be! See y'all soon...

Meet The Bloggers

Hi,

We thought we'd take a moment to say hello and introduce ourselves. We look forward to updating this page as often as possible.


Hi, I’m Kathryn. Why do I love working at the Richmond Symphony? Because it has allowed me to parlay my nearly 20 years as a full-fledged band geek into a full time career. I work in the Advancement and Patron Communications department as a fundraiser. Outside of the symphony I’m a defunct flutist, a wanna-be runner, and can’t live without a daily dose of Dave Matthews Band.

Hi-ya! Teka here. I work in the Advancement and Patron Communications department, mostly with marketing, where I get to create/edit cool ads and brochures for you all to see and hear. I especially like eating yummy foods and browsing quaint little markets and events around town. Sound effects are also fun – meep meep!

Name's Prabir. I like electric guitars and things that go real fast! I work in the Operations department where I get to combine my nerdy passion of planning with my even nerdier passion for chord progressions.

Hi! I’m Katie and I am the Assistant Director for Patron Services. I have been with the symphony for 11 years and handle all things TICKETS! In my free time I chase around my 2 year old daughter
