Animated Tunes at the BPO

Looking for something fun to do with you kids that will take you back to your Saturday mornings spent wrapped in a blanket in front of the TV watching cartoons? The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra presents Cartoons in Concert this Sunday, September 23 at 2:30 pm.
Remember that animated music that accompanied Tom and Jerry and the Pink Panther? Well, the BPO, under Resident Conductor Robert Franz will take you on that fun journey through cartoon music this week. A part of their family series, the animation will be projected during the concert, and classical favorites by Liszt, Beethoven and Strauss will also be performed. What a great way to get your kids hooked on live music!

It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h …
What could be more perfect to spread the news about local artists at the Buffalo Indie Market than a literary magazine that features works from local artists? NOMAD is a new magazine set to debut in January 2009 that will feature writers, poets, photographers, artists, and designers from the area. Erica Eichelkraut, a freelance photographer, created NOMAD and is bringing it to the public. Since Eichelkraut is a part of the Buffalo Indie Market, it wasn’t long before a collaborat …
