As the Buffalo Philharmonic successfully completes its historic milestone of 75 years of music-making, we owe a debt of gratitude to all that came before us…our founders, patrons, musicians and staff. And we would be remiss not to mention our home, Kleinhans Music Hall, an architectural and historical marvel in which we are privileged to perform.
We now turn to 2011-2012 with the spirit, soul and passion that defines your orchestra. Join us for the grandeur, bliss, inspiration and excitement that the new season promises.
