“Side by side” is where you’ll find the College Symphony Orchestra musicians and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra on March 4.
Led by conductors Dr. Emily Schaad of SUNY Fredonia and JoAnn Falletta of the BPO, the special project is a unique collaboration that will position 90 students in the Fredonia student ensemble alongside the high-caliber professional BPO musicians in a performance at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo, NY.
Concertgoers will be treated to Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's "The Bamboula" and Antonin Dvořák's Symphony No. 9 "From the New World."
Area Fredonia alumni and friends are invited to a special pre-performance reception from 6 until 7:15 p.m. to celebrate the special occasion, support SUNY Fredonia’s student musicians, and kick off SUNY Fredonia’s Bicentennial year of celebration. The orchestral concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
Sponsors include the Fredonia Alumni Association and the Fredonia College Foundation.
Concert tickets are $15 or $25 for a combined reception-plus-performance ticket.
