Welcome to our web site! The Buffalo Chapter encompasses the large geographic area known as Western New York. Our chapter has a long history of presenting 2 - 3 recitals each program year along with professional workshops and choral reading events. We sponsor a scholarhip for aspiring church musicians as well as maintain a choral library with over 220 titles. We hope that you will attend our public recitals and visit this site often for the most updated information on Buffalo Chapter events. With over 150 members we provide inspired music leadership across the Niagara Frontier.
