Registration open for Hopkins-Eggleston Discovery Concert Series

Our fall Discovery Concert, Lift Off!, took students through an intergalactic journey, featuring selections from Holst's The Planets. Discovery Concerts are interactive and teach students about a variety of academic subjects. Photo by Anna Mitchell.

It’s not too late to register your school group for our spring Hopkins-Eggleston Discovery Concert: Storytime with the Richmond Symphony, featuring The Sneetches by Dr. Seuss™!

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.
