The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus invites you to discover what drives us as artists and what connects us as a community. Our upcoming season – PASSION FOR – celebrates the heart of musical expression through three extraordinary experiences.
Celebrate our PASSION FOR TRADITION as we mark thirty consecutive years of Handel's beloved Messiah, honoring three decades of shared musical memories in our community.
Experience our PASSION FOR ARTISTRY with Bach's powerful St. John Passion—a work that reveals the depths of human emotion through masterful musical storytelling.
And join our PASSION FOR COMMUNITY at a Choral Festival, where voices of all ages come together to create something greater than the sum of their parts.
Each concert reveals a different facet of our musical passion, but all are united by our commitment to bringing you transformative musical experiences.
Discover your passion. Join us for PASSION FOR...
