CONSORTIUM
Area music groups are encouraged to connect to GBFOM. In addition to producing the Events Calendar and offering financial and logistical support for concerts, we encourage music organizations to plan collaboratively and to network in formal and informal ways.
Consortium events may include such gatherings as a spring Members' Tea*,
a fall Beer Choir, future Big Sing, and more.
*Thank you to area music leaders who attended our April 28, 2024 Tea,
representing nearly three dozen choral ensembles and honoring WNY choral legend
Marcia Giambrone! Click here to read Tim Socha's interview with Marcia.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church sent a thank you to GBFOM and our choirs for our dedication to music and flexibility as our festival shifted venues. The Church welcomed and hosted each member of our chorale ensemble and the over 600 audience for the
June 6, 2024 "We All Sing with the Same Voice" Choral Festival.

Participating groups may submit their Choral Group Profile below.
These profiles provide general information about each group: director's biographies, rehearsal times and places, annual events, contact information, and links to each group's website.
The profiles also provide singers looking to join a choir with helpful, comparative information.
Please complete and submit your organization’s information for the Greater Buffalo Friends of Music website’s Choral Consortium page through the blue button below.
