Among the Music: A Candlelit Experience

Kleinhans Music Hall

Join your BPO and the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus for a patriotic tradition as we honor the men and women who have served our country and pay tribute to the American spirit.

Patriotic Pops

As the first of a trilogy of cantatas, Orff’s irreverent Carmina Burana draws from a 13th century compilation of vagabond songs and poems detailing fate’s fickleness, pagan delights, and corruption, with hypnotic sensuality and powerful rhythms. Hindemith’s reworked Symphonic Dances emerged from a discarded ballet collaboration.

Carmina Burana

Our season concludes with three iconic compositions and two orchestral world premieres. Bernstein’s toe-tapping Three Dance Episodes from On the Town, Copland’s distinctively American Appalachian Spring Suite, and Gershwin’s jazz-infused Rhapsody in Blue are paired with two works rooted in 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.

American Soundscapes

Some of the very best singers and instrumentalists in the U.K. come together to create the ultimate tribute to the greatest classic rock band of a generation, capturing hits such as Nights in White Satin, Tuesday Afternoon, Go Now, and Isn’t Life Strange.
