At the University at Buffalo, music isn’t just something we study—it’s something we live. From genre-defying premieres to beloved classical traditions, our concerts and events celebrate the daring, the moving and the unexpected. Whether you're a student performer, an aspiring music major or simply someone who loves live music, you're invited.
Every semester, we host the Baird Lecture Series, inviting influential scholars, composers and performers to campus. Through lectures, master classes and roundtable discussions, you’ll explore music from every angle—history, theory, culture and beyond.
🗓️ Lectures are Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. in Baird Recital Hall (250 Baird Hall)
🎟️ Free and open to the public
Whether you're a music student, casual listener or part of Buffalo’s vibrant creative scene, you’re invited!
The Slee Visiting Artist Series and Beethoven String Quartet Cycle are generously supported by the late Frederick and Alice Slee.
The Center for 21st Century Music is sponsored by the Robert and Carol Morris Center for 21st Century Music in the UB Department of Music. 🎼 Jonathan Golove, Artistic Director
