The Richmond Symphony has exceeded its goal of raising $5 million in endowment funds in its “Fanfare – Funding the Power of Music” campaign.
By the conclusion of the five-year campaign on July 
31, the symphony expects to have received contributions and pledges of more than $5.6 million. “It is a major accomplishment for the organization . . . particularly in this economic climate,” said David Fisk, the orchestra’s executive director.
The endowment, overseen by the Richmond Symphony Foundation, is expected to reach $12 million in 2012, said Bucci Zeugner, incoming treasurer of the foundation.
Endowment earnings currently cover about 10 percent of the orchestra’s operating budget. Long-term, Fisk said, earnings from the enlarged endowment should cover about 15 percent of operating costs.
Sing-along “Messiahs” at Christmastime have been around for decades; lately, community choruses have been venturing further into audience-participation performances of other choral classics. The Richmond Choral Society joins their ranks this month with “Summersings” of the Requiems of John Rutter and Gabriel Fauré.
The Rutter will be performed on June 21 with the Choral Society’s artistic director, Markus Compton, directing and pianist Keith Tan accompanying. On June 28, Erin R. Freeman, associate conductor of the Richmond Symphony and director of the Richmond Symphony Chorus, will lead the Fauré, with Compton accompanying on piano.
Both performances begin at 7:30 p.m. at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, 520 N. Boulevard. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Admission is $10, with scores available for rent at $2.

The Takács Quartet, one of the world’s premier string quartets, and Dawn Upshaw, the acclaimed American soprano and contemporary music proponent, head the list of classical artists 
performing in the 2011-12 Modlin Arts season of the University of Richmond’s Modlin Arts Center.
The coming season’s attractions also include Stile Antico, a widely praised early music vocal ensemble from Britain; the veteran American pianist Garrick Ohlsson; pianist Christopher O’Riley and cellist Matt Haimovitz, two leading proponents of classical performance in untraditional formats and spaces; and the American pianist and composer Stephen Prutsman, performing with the Shanghai Quartet.
The contemporary music sextet eighth blackbird will return for its eighth season in residence at UR with two programs, 
including several premieres. Other new-music attractions include “Rappahannock County,” a Civil War-themed theatrical song cycle by composer Ricky Ian Gordon and librettist Mark Campbell, commissioned by Virginia Opera and the Modlin Center (among others), being reprised at UR after its premiere this spring in Norfolk at the Virginia Arts Festival; Upshaw, with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, performing “Winter Morning Walks,” a song cycle by the jazz composer-bandleader Maria Schneider; the premiere of Prutsman’s Piano Quintet in his performance with the Shanghai; and the 11th annual edition of UR’s Third Practice Electroacoustic Music Festival.
Non-classical music attractions include appearances by three of the greats of 1960s folk and folk-rock – Joan 
Baez, Arlo Guthrie and Roger McGuinn, former leader of The Byrds; singer-songwriter Josh Ritter; acoustic and string-band music from banjoist Béla Fleck, the Red Clay Ramblers, the Carolina Chocolate Drops and The Grascals; jazz from singer (and former Richmonder) René Marie, singer-instrumentalist Esperanza Spalding, singer Gretchen Parlato, the Afro-flamenco artist Buika, Chucho Valdés and the Afro-Cuban Messengers; the gypsy jazz group Hot Club of San Francisco; and the salsa ensemble La Excelensia.
The coming Modlin season also will feature modern-dance performances by Pilobolus, River North Dance Chicago, the Moscow Festival Ballet in “Swan Lake,” Cirque Mechanics in “Boom Town,” Celtic Nights in “Journey of Hope,” Jump Rhythm Jazz Project and the Doug Varone Dance Company and Shen Wei Dance Arts; the flamenco dance troupe Compañia Flamenca José Porcel; comedy by Paula Poundstone; puppetry by Basil Twist; and theatrical performances by the Indian Ink Theatre Company, National Acrobats of the People’s Republic of China, Compagnia T.P.O. in “Farfalle (Butterflies)” and the Aquila Theatre Company in Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest.”
