JoAnn Falletta, conductor
John Riesen, tenor
Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus

If you love the season’s glow but crave something quieter and more luminous, this concert is your tradition. JoAnn Falletta leads an elegant program with tenor John Riesen and the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus, shaped for reflection as much as celebration. Rather than hustle, this is an invitation to pause and let the hall’s warmth, voices, and orchestral color create space. Expect music that feels like candlelight, uplifting and resonant with a calm center. It is a Classical Christmas that offers what the season rarely does on its own, room to breathe and leave a little steadier.
