Come "Play it Forward" with Music Orchard Richmond!
🎶 Play It Forward 2026 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 student competition, a silent auction, raffle, and the joy of investing in Richmond’s young musicians.

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.
