SUMMARY:Brahms & Bruch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nThe concert opens with The Banks of Green Willow\, George Butterworth’s idyllic work comprised of two English folk songs. The pastoral piece premiered just two years before the promising young composer’s demise in the trenches of World War I. German composer Max Bruch was similarly fascinated with folk song and captivated by Scottish traditions. He wove these melodies into his violin showpiece\, Scottish Fantasy. The orchestration aurally paints many Scottish scenes for listeners as Bruch emulates bagpipes and war music. Meanwhile\, in Brahms’ expressive Symphony No. 1\, finely dubbed “Beethoven’s Tenth”—the composer set out to follow in the musical giant’s footprints after hearing his Ninth Symphony. While many Early-Romantic composers attempted to emulate Beethoven through stark contrasts and an abundance of stunning melodies\, Brahms followed Beethoven’s precedent for allowing just a few musical ideas to undergo a journey and transformation throughout a piece. Through the development of these ideas\, Brahms tells a story\, rife with compelling drama. Due to his perfectionism\, the piece gestated for twenty-two years before he allowed it to be heard by the public. Listeners will swing on the emotional pendulum as the movements progress\, before the concert ends with a sweeping chorale and majestic final cadence. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram\nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nSimone Porter\, violin \nBUTTERWORTH  The Banks of Green Willow \nBRUCH  Scottish Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra\, Op. 46\nPrelude: Grave\nI.

SUMMARY:Pablo's Guitar
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]This program will take listeners on a tour of melodies hailing from around the world. Bacewicz’s six-minute Overture for Orchestra was composed during the German occupation of Poland and offers an exciting\, perpetually shifting palette of colors.

Meanwhile\, Spaniard Joaquin Rodrigo’s animated Concierto de Aranjuez features elaborate instrumentation for classical guitar. The piece took its first recorded form as a Braille manuscript carried into Spain by Rodrigo at the outbreak of the Second World War. Fauré’s Pelléas et Mélisande Suite offers a contemplative reprieve in a romantic and tragic orchestral retelling of elicit lovers and their star-crossed fate\, and Alexander Borodin brings the program’s close with his colorful Symphony No. 2\, which evokes the exuberance of Russian folk dances.

SUMMARY:Disney in Concert: A Dream Is A Wish

The stories of The Little Mermaid\, The Lion King\, Beauty and the Beast\, Frozen\, Aladdin\, and more are told through the talents of four Broadway-caliber singers\, original Disney film footage\, and sweeping orchestral scores performed by your Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Ron Spigelman.

SUMMARY:Mendelssohn & Dvořák
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nThe concert opens with Franco-Brazilian composer Elodie Bouny’s striking homage to the Amazon rainforest and the destruction it has faced in the form of Ignis II—meaning “fire.” The piece serves as a contemporary complement to Mendelssohn’s exquisite and romantic Violin Concerto\, which features a turning-point cadenza as a center jewel. Award-winning soloist Amaryn Olmeda brings Mendelssohn’s virtuosic and vivacious melodies to the stage. Countering the sparkling energy of the concerto\, but no less joyful\, Dvořák’s pastoral Symphony No. 8 vividly depicts Czech songs and dances through rich\, pleasing melodies and harmonies. The symphony reflects the composer’s musings on the implications of nature\, as well as his own experience enjoying its benefits. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_column_text css=””] \nProgram\nRoberto Minczuk\, conductor\nAmaryn Olmeda\, violin \nELODIE BOUNY   Ignis II\nI.

Well known for his breakout role as ‘Aaron Burr’ in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical Hamilton\, Odom made the season’s most highly anticipated return to his award-winning role in September 2025. During his limited engagement run\, which came nine years after his final bow\, Hamilton hit its highest ever gross in its ten years on Broadway. Odom’s long-awaited return to Broadway following his original Hamilton run came in 2023 as a producer\, alongside his beloved Nicolette Robinson and the gracious Jeffrey Richards\, with the classic American comedy Purlie Victorious: A Non-Confederate Romp Through the Cotton Patch written by the legendary Ossie Davis. The revival opened to widespread critical acclaim. Odom was Tony-nominated for his performance\, and the production received six nominations and one win. Purlie Victorious was recorded and aired as part of PBS’ Great Performances. Odom has continued to captivate audiences across film and television including his star turn as legendary soul singer Sam Cooke in the Amazon film adaptation of One Night in Miami…\, directed by Regina King. His lauded portrayal of the soul icon and musical performance of original song “Speak Now” earned him multiple awards and nominations. Additional film and television credits include Rian Johnson’s record-breaking 2022 Knives Out sequel\, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery\, for Netflix\, The Many Saints of Newark\, a prequel to David Chase’s award-winning HBO series The Sopranos\, Apple TV+’s Central Park (2020 Emmy nomination)\, Hamilton on Disney+ (2021 Emmy nomination)\, host of “The Tony Awards Present: Broadway’s Back!” on CBS (2022 Emmy nomination)\, Abbott Elementary\, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder\, Harriet\, and many more. In March 2018\, Odom added the title of author to his resume with the release of his book – Failing Up: How to Take Risks\, Aim Higher and Never Stop Learning\, which was recently released in paperback in March 2025. Co-written with Nicolette Robinson\, Odom’s first children’s book\, I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know\, was published by Feiwel & Friends in March 2023. The book debuted on the New York Times bestseller list at #7 in its first week. Odom has released six full-length albums. His sixth and first-ever live album\, An Offering: Live at Speakeasy Studios\, was released on October 17\, 2025.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Haydn Cello Concerto
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nThe powerful\, tense chords of Sibelius’ patriotic Finlandia open a program filled with nationalistic pride.

Haydn’s lyrically virtuosic Cello Concerto No. 2 follows—regarded as one of the greatest works for cello of the Classical era—sparkling and singing under talented young star Sterling Elliott’s fingers. Grieg’s four charming Symphonic Dances\, inspired by Norwegian folk songs\, close the program with jaunty rhythms and folk-dance melodies that played a key role in formalizing Norway’s national identity. \nRune Bergmann\, conductor\nSterling Elliott\, cello \nSIBELIUS  Finlandia\nHAYDN  Cello Concerto No. 2 in D major\nGRIEG  Symphonic Dances[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwZGF0YS10ZXN0aWQlM0QlMjJlbWJlZC1pZnJhbWUlMjIlMjBzdHlsZSUzRCUyMmJvcmRlci1yYWRpdXMlM0ExMnB4JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZvcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tJTJGZW1iZWQlMkZwbGF5bGlzdCUyRjZNVVA1bFlQNVE4TUZTaVl5ckZVdXclM0Z1dG1fc291cmNlJTNEZ2VuZXJhdG9yJTIyJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjIxMDAlMjUlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjI0MDAlMjIlMjBmcmFtZUJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4lM0QlMjIlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGxvYWRpbmclM0QlMjJsYXp5JTIyJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Carmina Burana
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As the first of a trilogy of cantatas\, Orff’s irreverent Carmina Burana draws from a 13th century compilation of medieval vagabond songs and poems detailing fate’s fickleness\, pagan delights\, and corruption.

Fantastic solo voices joined by the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus sing of the full range of human love\, from pining to ecstatic and more. Hindemith’s reworked Symphonic Dances complete the program\, which emerged from discarded ballet collaborations. Challenging counterpoint as well as soft\, dignified passages constitute this Neo-Classical piece written in a tumultuous era of history. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nSara LeMesh\, soprano\nKameron Lopreore\, tenor\nJoshua Conyers\, baritone\nBuffalo Philharmonic Chorus \nHINDEMITH  Symphonic Dances\nORFF  Carmina Burana[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:American Soundscapes
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nOur season concludes with three iconic compositions and two orchestral world premieres. The program opens with Bernstein’s toe-tapping Three Dance Episodes from On the Town\, a comedic Broadway hit filled with dance\, sentimentality\, and lightheartedness. The musical spirit of America continues with Copland’s emblematic and patriotic Appalachian Spring: Suite\, which blooms with optimism and brims with the tender promise of new life. Starting with its idiosyncratic clarinet glissando\, Gershwin’s jazz-infused Rhapsody in Blue swings and sweeps listeners into a different American soundscape where an improvisational-sounding piano line takes the center of this Jazz-age stage. These quintessential American pieces are paired with two works rooted in our own Western New York. Michael Daugherty’s Niagara Falls is a musical journey through one of the world’s great scenic wonders\, while Buffalo-born Paul Moravec’s Serenade—inspired by the Great Western Staircase at the New York State Capitol\, a marvel of intricate sculpture and history—offers a stirring narrative of ascent and aspiration. This closing concert provides a rich musical portrait of America—both past and present—bound to inspire listeners to appreciate the musical and natural beauty surrounding them. \nJoAnn Falletta\, conductor\nJon Kimura Parker\, piano \nBERNSTEIN  Three Dance Episodes from On the Town\nMICHAEL DAUGHERTY  Niagara Falls (Orchestral World Premiere)\nCOPLAND  Appalachian Spring: Suite\nPAUL MORAVEC  Serenade (Orchestral World Premiere)\nGERSHWIN  Rhapsody in Blue \nThe Saturday evening performance is sponsored by\n[/vc_column_text][vc_separator css=””][vc_raw_html css=””]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[/vc_raw_html][/vc_column][/vc_row]
