There’s one foolproof way to get into the holiday spirit each year – attending M&T Bank’s ‘Holiday Music Under the Dome’ annual concert series. Held in one of the most magnificent buildings in Downtown Buffalo, the live music series features a wide range of holiday concerts, from local schools to the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO).
“For many Western New Yorkers, it has become a tradition to visit M&T Bank’s gold dome during the holidays,” said Karen Cullen, Branch Manager at M&T Bank’s Fountain Plaza Branch. “This beautiful, historic building becomes even more stunning and memorable when it’s decorated for the holidays and filled with festive music.”
