Play it Forward

Play It Forward is Music Orchard Richmond’s signature fundraising celebration—where community, creativity, and a shared love of music come together for a powerful cause. Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with live performances including a friendly instrument showdown, a silent auction, raffle, and the joy of investing in Richmond’s young musicians.

The music portion of our evening will include the following artists:

• Music Orchard Richmond students
• Music Orchard Richmond Teaching Artists
• Jude Emerson
• Laura Ann Singh
• The Sweet Potatoes
• DJ and Emcee: Rei Alverez

Every dollar raised helps us provide inclusive and accessible music education, growth opportunities, and mentorship to K–12 students across the region—especially those in under-resourced communities. By Playing it Forward, you’re helping ensure that every child has the opportunity to grow, express themselves, and build a strong future through music.

RSVP by October 23rd to join us Nov. 6th, 2025 from 6-9pm at Triple Crossing Brewery, Fulton Hill. We'll provide incredible music, some of Triple Crossing's famous hors d'oeuvres, pizza, and beverages, and you come celebrate the power of music, support the next generation, and help us build a more joyful, equitable Richmond—one note at a time.
