Music in Buffalo’s Historic Places
Music in Buffalo’s Historic Places presents concerts in distinct architectural settings with musical programs that are relevant to the design and period in which the building was constructed. The series strives not only to bring a fuller appreciation to the region’s unique history, but also to serve as a venue for University at Buffalo faculty and guest artists to collaborate in carefully chosen concert programs.
Pausa Art House presents chamber music concerts and artistic exhibitions focusing on artists indigenous to Buffalo and its surrounding area. As a complement to the already vibrant nightlife on Allen Street, PAUSA adds a “boutique” entertainment element to the neighborhood with pre-concert and post-concert receptions that encourage intermingling among performers and audience members.
