BFO - The Passion of Yeshua: I. Prologue
The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the Western New York region through the performance of high-quality, diverse musical programs and developing singers in the choral arts. The BPC is the winner of the 2020 GRAMMY® award for Best Choral Performance for their recording of Richard Danielpour'sThe Passion of Yeshua with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor JoAnn Falletta. The 140-member chorus is frequently heard as the principal guest chorus of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and performs frequently at the Chautauqua Institution.
What began in 1937 as the Buffalo Schola Cantorum became the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus in 1992 to reflect its close association with the BPO, and to clarify its mission to the public. Founder Jessamine E. Long led the group until 1945 when she was succeeded by a progression of noteworthy musicians, including Cameron Baird and the twenty-two-year leadership of Thomas Swan. Now the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus makes various guest appearances throughout the region and produces self-sponsored concerts such as our annual performance of Handel’s Messiah.
