A highlight from this past Saturday: Hanging out with Michael Sachs, principal trumpet of The Cleveland Orchestra! After rehearsing Wynton Marsalis’s Trumpet Concerto (a piece that was written for Sachs himself!) with the @rvasymphony, he joined our visiting brass students and Symphony musicians to share insights about his career over a slice of pizza. Thanks for joining us, @michaelsachs_! 🎺🎶

Calling all beginning violists, cellists, and double bassists! If making more music is on your list of New Year’s resolutions, then String Sinfonietta is the place for you! 🎻

Sinfonietta is open to any string musician who has played their instrument for at least one year. In this ensemble, students learn the basics of playing in an orchestra. They learn about their section within the orchestra, and their role within the section. Students learn to watch and follow a conductor, and how to listen to other sections in the orchestra. Above all, the young musicians in Sinfonietta learn the joy of making music with others.

To register and learn more about recommended fundamentals, visit the link in our bio and fill out the inquiry form. Sinfonietta’s violin section is full at this time, and we will be recruiting new violinists at the start of next school year. Registration for Sinfonietta is open until the ensemble is full and some sections may close before others.

There’s a reason why they call December the most wonderful time of year! Earlier this month, our students in Youth Community Strings were invited to perform Carol of the Bells during a Sunday morning service with @myspbc. Between those who attended the service in person and those who viewed the livestream, over 3,000 people watched our young musicians perform!

We’re delighted to share our students’ performance with you today in celebration of the holiday season. On behalf of the Richmond Symphony School of Music, happy holidays to all, and we look forward to making music with you in the New Year! 🎇🎻

A special thank you to our lead teacher Caitlin Barry, our co-teacher Anita Williams, all of our amazing volunteers, and our partners at The Saint Paul’s Baptist Church and A to B Kid Shuttle.
