Understanding the power of music during these unprecedented times, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra announces the extension of its BPOnDemand series through the first quarter of 2021. The popular video-streamed performance series, presented by M&T Bank, uses state-of-the-art audio and video recording technology to bring the magical acoustics of Kleinhans into the living room of patrons via their home computer or mobile device. The series has allowed the BPO to perform exciting repertoire not normally available to the full orchestra and helps to ensure that the 73 full-time musicians of the BPO remain employed.
