Music Culture in Richmond

The city of Richmond abounds with cultural opportunities and VCUís location in the heart of the Fan District makes it easy for VCU students to take advantage of these cultural offerings.

The Richmond Symphony performs regularly in the Sonia Vlahcevic Concert Hall as well as venues throughout the Richmond area. Students are offered significantly discounted tickets to each performance. The Virginia Opera, Richmond Ballet and Modlin Center for the Arts at the University of Richmond also offer diverse arts programming to Richmond and the surrounding areas.

Jazz clubs, churches, university functions and private functions provide ample performance opportunity for music students at VCU.
