Christian McBride live in Richmond

Experience Christian McBride live on October 22nd

Christian McBride will perform at the Modlin Center for the Arts in Richmond, Virginia on October 22, 2026. McBride is a highly acclaimed bassist and composer whose work spans a remarkably broad range of jazz styles, from post-bop and hard bop to smooth jazz and fusion. He is known for his virtuosity, melodic sensitivity, and ability to seamlessly navigate diverse musical contexts – often incorporating elements of funk, R&B, and classical music into his performances. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with numerous prominent artists including Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, and Sting.

The Modlin Center for the Arts is the performing arts center for the University of Richmond. Established in 1994 following a substantial gift from Alice G. Modlin, it serves as a cultural hub for both the university community and the wider Richmond area. The Center hosts a variety of performances throughout the year including dance, theater, music (spanning classical to contemporary), and visiting artist series events. Its primary venues include Camp Concert Hall – where McBride is scheduled to perform – and the Booker Theater. The Modlin Center aims to provide opportunities for artistic expression and engagement through performance and education.
