We are delighted that the BPO was able to return to Carnegie Hall on Monday, October 3rd to celebrate the life and legacy of American Composer and former BPO Music director, Lukas Foss. Over four hundred guests from the Western New York community traveled to New York City to join us for this monumental performance. JoAnn Falletta led the program, featuring the Choir of Trinity Wall Street and Downtown Voices, along with soloists Amy Porter, flute and BPO Concertmaster Nikki Chooi, violin.
All of us at the BPO would like to say a special thank you to our donors. This concert helped brand the orchestra nationally, build audiences locally, and further fiscally strengthen our 2022-2023 season. This would not have been possible without their generous support.
