Erin Freeman is both the director of choral activities at VCUarts Music and the director of the Richmond Symphony Chorus, and her extraordinary leadership has earned her national recognition.
Performance Today, the most popular classical music radio program in the United States, asked its listeners to nominate living women in the genre who inspire them for the show’s Classical Woman of the Year award. Among the six finalists was Freeman, who was described by nominator Roy Hoagland as “brilliant, fun, and charismatic.”
Erin’s leadership in the Richmond, VA community is extraordinary. In a place burdened with histories of racial and economic disparity, she is a creative light of hope for our future. She understands and conveys the power of music to touch our souls, heal our hurts, and dissolve our divisions. Conducting for the Richmond Ballet, Symphony, or Chorus, she emanates and shares the potency of the music she helps create.
