Starting this week, M&T Bank is bringing live, soulful holiday music to Downtown Buffalo, all through the month of December. Not only is this one of the most magnificent venues in all of the US, the music series is a way to highlight some of the most talented young voices in the region – 11 high school groups total.
“The holidays are always a magical time in our Fountain Plaza branch. From the traditional holiday décor, to one of the area’s largest indoor train sets and, of course, the holiday music, it’s a great place to spend the lunch break and bring the family,” said Lynn Waclawek, M&T Bank’s event organizer.
