• RESIDENT ENSEMBLE BIOGRAPHIES

The world-renowned Buffalo Philharmonic was founded in 1935 . Since 1940 , the Orchestra's permanent home has been Kleinhans Music Hall, a National Historic Site with an international reputation as one of the finest concert halls in the United States. It was designed by Eliel and Eero Saarinen with F.]. and WA Kidd, architects .

Over the decades, the BPO has matured in stature under the batons of some of the leading stars of the podium. William Steinberg, Josef Krips, Lukas Foss, Michael Tilson Thomas, Maxilluano Valdez, Semyon Bychkov and Julius Rudel are among the luminaries who have served as music directors of the Buffalo Plulharmonic .

As Buffalo's cultural ambassador, the BPO has toured widely across the United States and Canada,including concerts at Lincoln Center,Kennedy Center, Boston 's Symphony Hall , San Francisco 's Davies Hall , Montreal's Place des Arts, and twenty-two appearances in Carnegie Hall.The Buffalo PlulharmOluc also made two national tours under famed Boston Pops conductor Arthur Fiedler, as well as a highly successful European tour under Semyon Bychkov. In the spring of 2010 the orchestra will tour in Florida. Currently, the Orchestra presents more than one hundred Classics, Pops and Youth Concerts each year in Western New York.

During the tenure of current music director, JoAnn Falletta , the Buffalo Philharmonic performed at Carnegie Hall ill 2004, made numerous recordillgs on the Naxos label that have received critical praise , the most recent of which is John Corigliano's Mr. Tambourine Man CD, which was recently awarded with two Grammy awards. Falletta has led the orchestra in numerous concert broadcasts on NPR's Performance Today and SympbonyCast, the European Broadcasting Union, as well as a nation wide broadcast on PBS television. This broadcast was heard by nullions ill 210 cities across the United States.

RESIDENT ENSEMBLE BIOGRAPHIES, CONT. Meridian Arts Ensemble,a sextet comprised of five brass players and a percussion­ist, is America 's leading brass group exploring the music of today. Founded ill 1987, with nille commercial CD releases, over fifty premieres, and performances on four continents and in forty-tune states, Meridian's excitillg and ambitious musical approach has changed the face of classical music.

Now a faculty ensemble at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music, the ensemble began its career 100ki.tlg away from academic music and toward the American vernacular. Meridian's arrangements of the music of Ff""d.nk Zappa brought critical and popular acclailll , interviews on NPR's Weekend Edition, and performances in concert halls and rock clubs. Commissions from Milton Babbitt, Elliott Sharp, Tania Leon, Su Lian Tan, Mark Applebaum, Hermeto Pascoal, Nick Didkovsky, David Sanford, The Common Sense Composers ' Collective, Stephen Barber,Jolm Halle, and Kirk Nurock have created a balanced and broad rangillg repertoire for brass and percussion that peers into every corner of today 's musical experience.

Meridian 's catalog of tune CD's on the Channel Classics label represents an equally broad look at the music of today.
