Registration Open for Hopkins-Eggleston Discovery Concert Series

Last spring's Discovery Concert featuring Peter and the Wolf filled the Carpenter Theatre to the brim. Join us in March 2025 to hear The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss™, Tchaikovsky’s Waltz from The Sleeping Beauty, and excerpts from Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Photo by James H Loving Photography.

Registration is now open for our spring Hopkins-Eggleston Discovery Concert: Storytime with the Richmond Symphony, featuring The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss™ and Kimberly Schroeder, narrator!

Held during the school day, Discovery Concerts engage young minds through exciting full-orchestra performances. These morning performances by the Richmond Symphony correlate with Virginia Standards of Learning. Participating schools receive student listening guides, a teacher guide, and concert repertoire in advance of the performance. Concerts serve city, county, private and home-schooled students. Our spring Discovery Concerts are best suited for grades pre-K through 3 and will feature Lorenzo Palomo’s The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss™, Tchaikovsky’s Waltz from The Sleeping Beauty, and excerpts from Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Wednesday, March 12 at 10:30 am and Thursday March 13 at 10:30 am | Teachers can register their groups by clicking here

Interested in attending our spring Discovery Concerts, but unable to attend with a school group? Join us for our Family Concert on Sunday, March 16! Our Family Concerts are open to the public and welcome students of all ages. Click here for more information.
