Meet Us
Under the direction of Erin Freeman, the Richmond Symphony Chorus enjoys an over 40 year history of bringing choral orchestral masterpieces to life as part of the Richmond Symphony.
Our members donate their time to the cause of keeping choral music alive and thriving. From singing the National Anthem at the opening session of the General Assembly to performing at the Kennedy Center, the chorus is one of the shining cultural ambassadors of Central Virginia. In May, 2018, we celebrated the Symphony's 60th anniversary in premiere performances of a world premiere by Mason Bates, written for chorus and orchestra. We joined the orchestra in performing Beethoven's Ninth as part of June's Festival of the River under the Big Tent. Learn more about our leaders, members, and upcoming concerts. |
