Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus

The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the Western New York region through the performance of high-quality, diverse musical programs and developing singers in the choral art. The BPC is frequently heard as the principal guest chorus of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. What began in 1937 as the Buffalo Schola Cantorum became the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus in 1992 to reflect its close association with the BPO and to clarify its mission to the public. Founder Jessamine E. Long led the group until 1945 when she was succeeded by a succession of noteworthy musicians, including Cameron Baird and the twenty-two year leadership of Thomas Swan. Now the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus has a self-sponsored concert series, as well as makes various guest appearances throughout the region. The BPC participates in a number of community service events throughout the year including the Martin Luther King Celebration and the Daemen College graduation, both held at Kleinhans Music Hall. In the past, the BPC has participated in Curtain Up! and the Elmwood Arts Festival, and has performed with many area organizations including the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra, the Buffalo Gay Men’s Chorus, the Rochester Oratorio Society, and the Fredonia College Symphony Orchestra. On average, the BPC participates in 15 concerts each year – many of which have multiple performances.
