The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus
– 75 Years …
The year was 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge, the Lincoln Tunnel, and Buffalo's War Memorial Stadium opened to the public. The novel "Of Mice and Men" debuted, and the cost of a gallon of gas was 10 cents.
And in 1937, the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus was formed. Originally established as the Buffalo Schola Cantorum, the chorus continues to do today what it has done for 74 years: perform the greatest choral works of all time. Through economic depressions and boom years, shifts in population, and the growth and disappearance of business and retail establishments, the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus has continuously brought joy and fulfillment to hundreds of thousands of Buffalonians.
Singers from across Western New York and Southern Ontario come together season after season to rehearse and perform everything from the major classical choral masterworks, to pop standards of all genres, to newly commissioned works destined to be the classical choral works of tomorrow. Regardless of whether you prefer to listen to recorded music on vinyl, compact disc, or iPod, there is still nothing that compares to a live performance of over 120 voices raised up together in song.

The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus IS excellence in choral performance. You'll hear it. You'll feel it. You will be moved--just as previous generations have for three-quarters of a century.
Please join us during our 75th anniversary season as we celebrate this extraordinary accomplishment.
