at Congregation Or Ami

  • Bringing the finest traditional music to Richmond, Virginia

The Richmond Folk Music Society was founded to honor and promote traditional folk music and to support and encourage the artists who perform it. In our hectic, modern world with all its technological innovations and frenzied pace, we believe that it is important to keep a place in our hearts for the old songs, tunes, ballads and instruments that are part of our collective heritage. At our quarterly concerts, co-sponsored and held at Congregation Or-Ami, we provide a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere so that the community might experience superb traditional acoustic music in an intimate setting. We respect all traditions and strive to present a variety of music. We book artists who, in addition to being talented musicians, are well versed, authentic, and true to the style of the traditional music they perform.

Richmond Folk Music is Back!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our relaunch on March 2 ! We had a fantastic evening of blues with Sheryl Warner and the Southside Homewreckers. Tickets will be on sale soon for our next events: Matthew O'Donnell will bring his Celtic and folk artistry to Or Ami on May 4th followed by the eclectic string-band music of The Hot Seats on June 15th.
