BOARD AND STAFF
MUSIC ORCHARD RICHMOND (MOR)
Meet the Administrative Staff
Elizabeth Kilpatrick
Executive Director
Elizabeth Kilpatrick was named the new Executive Director of Music Orchard Richmond (MOR) in April of 2023. She brings a passion for inclusive music education and the opportunity to share the joy and benefits of music with the communities of Richmond and beyond.
As a young child, Elizabeth experienced the positive impact of music education and outreach on a personal level. Growing up as the fourth of seven children on a farm in rural Upstate NY, options for music education were limited and physically far away, and financially out of reach. If not for scholarship funds, work-studies, and generous teachers, she would not have had the opportunity to discover the rich benefits of music lessons, much less pursue working as a musician for a career.
In addition to her work with MOR, Elizabeth works as a freelance violinist and private lesson teacher in the Richmond area. You can often see her perform with the Richmond Symphony or at various churches in the area.
In her spare time, she can be found in her backyard garden, out on a hike with her dog Butter, or reading a book.
Andrew Kirk
Data Assistant
Andrew is an experienced data and operations professional with more than 15 years of experience working in nonprofit and community-focused organizations. His background includes data management, reporting, program operations, marketing, and team leadership.
Most recently, Andrew served as Senior Director of Data Management with the YMCA of Greater Richmond, where he focused on data integrity, reporting, process improvement, and developing tools that helped leadership make informed decisions. He has extensive experience working with databases, Power BI, Excel, automation, and geospatial technology, along with a strong background in managing projects and developing staff.
Andrew enjoys solving problems, improving processes, and finding practical ways to make information more useful and accessible. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Longwood University.
Autumn Rodriguez
Programs Assistant
Autumn Rodriguez is excited to join Music Orchard Richmond as Programs Assistant in 2026, bringing with her a background in education, a passion for working with children, and a lifelong love of creativity and the arts. She is looking forward to combining her experience in education with her love of music to support Music Orchard Richmond’s programs and community.
Growing up in a multicultural family, she experienced firsthand the special way music can connect people, cultures, and generations. Music has always held a meaningful place in her life, and she grew up dancing ballet and pointe, where music became an important part of how she experienced movement, expression, and creativity. While her professional background has been in education rather than music, she's excited to bring that perspective and genuine love of the arts to Music Orchard, helping create meaningful and welcoming experiences for children and families.
Outside of work, she still enjoys dancing, playing tennis, and spending time at home with her dog, two cats, and bearded dragon. She's rarely far from at least one furry—or scaly—friend!
