Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Cody Fry will join the Richmond Symphony for the 2025-26 season opener on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 7:30 p.m. at the Altria Theater.

The concert will feature Fry’s orchestral pop compositions, blending cinematic arrangements with pop storytelling under the direction of Music Director Valentina Peleggi, who is in her fifth season with the symphony. 

Fry first gained national attention as a Top 48 contestant on the 14th season of “American Idol.” He has since released seven solo albums, performed at sold-out venues across the U.S., and earned more than 300 million streams. His notable works include “I Hear a Symphony” and “Underground” as well as orchestral covers of pop classics. He received Grammy nominations in 2021 for his cover of the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” and in 2025 for his arrangement of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence.”
