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?

What a great way to get your kids hooked on live music!
