Join your Richmond Symphony for an exploration of The Science of Sound!

This concert will feature Haydn’s Symphony No. 94, Gregory Smith’s VIBE, and John Adams’ Short Ride in a Fast Machine and is narrated by Teddy McPherson.

Be there at 2pm as the Science Museum of Virginia gives a pre-show demonstration: Listen up! We’re exploring the science behind sound waves. We’ll blow your mind—but not your eardrums—with the power of sound.” 

While designed for ages 7-13, all ages are welcome. Children 2 and under are free if seated in an adult’s lap. Seating for this concert is general admission.
