Philharmonic Orchestra history, the current Buffalo Philharmonic organizational structure, presentations from Orchestra staff and musicians, guidance on writing concert reviews, and information specific to concerts the
students attend. Long Term Program The Long Term Program is a three-year education initiative designed to provide several undercapitalized elementary schools with music education opportunities and multiple
concert experiences. In addition to attending BPO educational concerts, the participating teachers and students design and produce several projects before and after the concerts, work with Philharmonic musicians, and
hear small ensemble performances. Teachers collaborate with the Education Department staff to help create the curriculum. Student progress is measured by pre- and post-program assessment, portfolios, and interviews.
