BUFFALO – Mayor Byron W. Brown today presented members of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra with a key to the city and an Executive Chambers proclamation in honor of their recent Grammy Award wins.
“This is a tremendous recognition for the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, affirming on a national stage the Orchestra’s great talent,” said Mayor Brown. “Since 1935, the BPO has created musical masterpieces for local audiences, as well as for music lovers across the world. We have always known that the BPO possesses a level of talent equal to the great orchestras of the United States, and receiving these two Grammy Awards confirms that status. All of Buffalo celebrates this great achievement, and it is my honor to present an official key to the City of Buffalo to maestro JoAnn Falletta and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.”
The Philharmonic’s recording of “Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan,” composed by John Corigliano’s won Grammys in the categories of Classical Vocal Performance and Classical Contemporary Composition. The BPO’s 2007 release of Respighi: Church Windows was also nominated for Best Engineered Album, Classical.
