For years, this special summer concert at Kleinhans Music Hall has been our way of saying thank you to our valued Donors and Subscribers. This year, we’re thrilled to open the doors to everyone — because the BPO loves Buffalo, and we want to share the music with our entire community! Led by Music Director JoAnn Falletta, this annual concert features a vibrant and personal program showcasing pieces the BPO musicians love, but don’t always get to perform during the season. Come celebrate the music, the summer, and the community that makes it all possible!

Donors and Subscribers: As a heartfelt thanks for your support, you may reserve your complimentary tickets by calling the BPO Box Office at (716) 885-5000.

Everyone Else: Join us! Tickets are Pay What You Will, with a $10 minimum, and can be purchased online or through the Box Office.
