Sparkling orchestral colors and rhythmic vitality fill the hall as the Richmond Symphony returns to St. Christopher’s School. Associate Conductor Hae Lee leads a program that opens with Mozart’s witty Overture to The Impresario, followed by Viet Cuong’s evocative Constellations. Barber’s Adagio for Strings offers a moment of profound reflection, its timeless lyricism unfolding with quiet intensity. Stravinsky’s spirited Suite from Pulcinella closes the evening with playful elegance.

The Richmond Symphony is excited to welcome Peleggi Lab Composition Competition winner Apollonio Maiello to Richmond this May!

In collaboration with the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole (Firenze, Italia) Composition Department, this international initiative highlights emerging compositional voices and fosters artistic exchange across borders.

Maiello will travel from Italy to attend rehearsals of his winning work, We All Had Big Gardens, culminating in its performance by the Richmond Symphony on May 9.

Join us in celebrating new music, global collaboration, and the next generation of composers
