The always fresh, annual Richmond Symphony tradition of timeless favorites and holiday surprises will get you in the holiday spirit!
Featuring the local singer-songwriter Susan Greenbaum and the City Singer's Children's Choir.
Susan Greenbaum committed the first sin of musicians: She quit her day job. After working as a corporate executive in Fortune 500 companies, Susan traded her power suits for performing. She has been singing as long as she’s been speaking, growing up in Kansas City, in college at Harvard, and in Boston and Richmond, VA. And now her tax return, under "Occupation," reads, "Singer-songwriter." Read more...
