BPO Kids for Exceptional Kids!

BPO Kids is a classical concert series just for kids and a great way to introduce children to a lifelong love of music. The John R. Oishei Children’s Hospital haspartnered with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra to make the concerts more accessible to children with autism, sensory or physical challenges.  Thanks to generous sponsorship from Wegmans, the tickets are available to our families at a reduced price.  The hospital and BPO have worked together to train the ushers about autism and provide families with sound muffling headphones available at BPO coat check; preferred seating near exits (if desired) and access to a quiet space if a child needs a break.
