Buffalo Music Hall of Fame "Concert from the Heart" To Benefit Food Bank of WNY

From Bop to Barbershop and Beethoven!

BUFFALO, NY (August 16, 2010) - If this sounds like an unlikely combination of musical genres, "You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet!" The 26 year-old organization, Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, has arranged a Spotlight Concert that combines (would you believe?!) the unexpected (and very exciting!) Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra with Buffalo's cross-genre musical greats: Lance Diamond, Taylor Made Jazz, the Old School B Boys, and more -- all with the Food Bank of Western New York as major beneficiary.

Hall of Famers named the performance "Concert from the Heart," and in one incredible evening, September 26, 2010, concert-goers will hear more musical genres than have ever been performed like this in the history of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra! The setting is Buffalo's acoustically magnificent Kleinhans Music Hall, One Symphony Circle, Buffalo. Groups will perform under the baton of BPO Conductor, Paul Ferrington. Pre-concert musical surprises will start in the lobby at 6:00 PM followed by one jammin' concert on the Main Stage from 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM.

"Musicians who don't usually perform the same types of music and don't necessarily perform together will combine talents in this Musical First," explained Buffalo Music Hall of Fame President, Rick Mathews. "Imagine hearing Barbershop, Classical, Film Music, Film/Theater Music, Classic Jazz, MoTown, Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Dance, Pop, Barbershop, and Cross-Over music by groups that you could never hear together anywhere else! This is a concert with more than regional interest."

The list of the evening's performers is drawn primarily from the vast talent pool at the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, and includes the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BMHOF Class of 1999), George Scott Big Band (representing the Historic Colored Musicians Club, BMHOF Class of 2005), Lance Diamond (BMHOF Class of 1992), Taylor Made Jazz (Van Taylor, BMHOF Class of 1998), with special guest appearances by Mark Mazur and the Little Big Band, Old School B Boys, and a few surprises!

Proceeds benefit The Food Bank of Western New York. Michael Billoni, Marketing and Public Relations Director of the Food Bank stated: "This concert is an imaginative musical outreach to fight hunger. Buffalo is ranked as the third poorest city in the nation. The need for our services has risen by 20% during the economic challenges of this past year alone." Contributions of as little as one dollar will deliver 7 pounds of food to needy families in 385 agencies in Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie and Niagara Counties.

The Buffalo Music Hall of Fame was created for the cultural enhancement and enrichment of Buffalo and Western New York. Inductees in the well recognized Music Hall of Fame have achieved success in the music industry on a national and often an international scale and are chosen by a formal nomination process. Nominees are rated in several different categories including longevity in Western New York, performances, community service in music, and musical versatility. This year's Hall of Fame Gala will take place on October 7th at the Tralf in downtown Buffalo.

"Concert from the Heart" tickets are $25.00 with lower prices available for groups. Sponsorships are available at the Presenter, Titanium, Platinum, Gold, and Silver levels that range from $10,000 to $250. "Angel" sponsorships to purchase individual tickets are encouraged to help attendees who might not otherwise be able to attend, and/or for those who may have never heard a Philharmonic Orchestra perform.
