BUFFALO, NY -- The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a concert to honor veterans at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11 at the Riviera Theatre, 67 Webster St., North Tonawanda. All tickets to the concert have been distributed free of charge, primarily to veterans and their families, thanks to the generosity of restauranteur and philanthropist Russell J. Salvatore. Many opportunities for photographs, video and interviews exist at this event.

BPO Associate Conductor Stefan Sanders will lead the concert, and Salvatore will welcome the audience. The Fifth and Sixth Grade Chorus from Meadow Elementary School in North Tonawanda will perform, as will the Buffalo Suzuki Strings. Garrett Martin, organist and music director for Buffalo's Westminster Presbyterian Church, will play the theater's famous Mighty Wurlitzer organ.
The BPO worked with Veterans One-stop Center of WNY and with the Niagara County Veterans' Service to ensure that veterans and their families received first priority in obtaining tickets to this concert. Other tickets were available on a first-come, first-serve basis to the general community.
