It is our great pleasure to announce that, starting in March, Classical Incarnations will be held at Gallery5, one of our favorite venues, on the third Sunday of every month! Our long-standing partnership with the Hof has been a wonderful one - greatly appreciated by musicians and audiences alike - and we look forward to future collaborations with them.
Gallery5 is a fantastic street-level venue with large doors that stand open when the weather is nice. The residents of Jackson Ward, pedestrians, and even people driving by in their cars will now have an opportunity to hear live classical music right in their neighborhood!
Our beautiful acoustic piano, Bernie, will be relocated from the Hof to Orbital Music Park, another of our favorite partners! There, it will be put to good use by musicians of all genres from around Richmond, in addition to being used for CRRVA events held in OMP’s Lunar Lounge. While we will miss Bernie at Incarnations, G5 and CRRVA are planning to purchase a high quality hybrid piano in July. If you want to help us secure funding for our new instrument, you can make donations at www.classicalrevolutionrva.com/donate and add the note “piano” as a special instruction!
Although changes are always bittersweet, I hope that you are all as excited as I am for this transition and the amazing musical opportunities that it brings!
Becca Longhenry, General Director
