Through orchestra, chorus, soloists, and narration, the oratorio explores compassion, transformation, care for creation, and the search for meaning in a divided world.
Conducted by JoAnn Falletta, with a libretto by Sr. Margaret Carney and narration by Claudia Christian, Francis brings together powerful musical and dramatic forces for a story that feels both ancient and urgently present.
Sweeping in sound and intimate in reflection, this world premiere invites us to consider what it means to live with purpose, empathy, and connection in our own time.Happens on the following Dates: Oct 10, 2026, 7:30pm to 9:30pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada) Oct 11, 2026, 2:30pm to 4:30pm Timezone: Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada)<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/157643/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Jonathan Taylor Rush, conductor Buffalo United Community Choir
This concert honors a towering figure in gospel music, Richard Smallwood, through the combined power of orchestra and choir. The BPO joins the Buffalo United Community Choir for an evening rooted in faith, artistry, and the kind of music that lifts a room from the inside out. Smallwood is celebrated for bridging traditions, drawing on classical training, church roots, and contemporary sound to create music that resonates across generations. You will hear selections from his remarkable catalog, including Total Praise, a modern-day hymn known across denominations and communities. This is more than a performance. It is a shared experience of voice, spirit, and community, offered with joy and reverence.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/157644/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Jason Seber, conductor Morgan James, vocals Doug Wamble, guitar, vocals John Scarpulla, saxophone, vocals
This is your soundtrack in full color, breezy, nostalgic, and built for a true night out. With Jason Seber conducting, vocalist Morgan James joins guitarist and vocalist Doug Wamble and saxophonist and vocalist John Scarpulla for soft rock favorites that defined two decades. Expect hits by Hall &amp; Oates, Christopher Cross, Fleetwood Mac, George Michael, Kenny Loggins, and more, reimagined with the sweep and punch of the orchestra. The result is familiar music with an added lift, where the hooks land bigger and the room feels like it is all moving together.
