RSO Sunset Series: A Day In The Life Of Gennett Records

Our first concert of the Sunset Series is July 9th, at 5:30, at the Starr Gennett Building down in the gorge! Parking can sometimes get a bit full, so we will have shuttle services running from the Division of Family Services and Well Care parking lots just up the hill!

This event will be a unique one in the series. The acclaimed Sock Joplin Trio joins the Richmond Symphony Orchestra Brass Quintet to kick off the 2025 RSO Sunset Series. Pianist Joshua Thompson, composer/saxophonist Jared Thompson, and multi-genre vocalist PsyWrn Simone masterfully blend classical music, bebop, neo-soul, and hip-hop with compelling musical storytelling about the rich history of Gennett Records. Drawing on their renowned charisma and musical aptitude, “A Day in the Life” offers audiences a glimpse into these magnetic artists while elevating the transformative role of Gennett Records in music and culture. Selections from Florence Price, Oswald Russell, Duke Ellington, Margaret Bonds, Hoagy Carmichael, Quincy Jones and original compositions serve as the soundtrack to the musical legacy of Richmond, Indiana.

Food trucks and drinks provided by Smiley's will be on site! So bring your lawn chairs and tell your friends, we will see you down in the gorge!

This event is sponsored by Richmond UEA & Darla Bailey
