On Saturday, April 22nd, the Springville-GI High School Orchestra performed at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo prior to that evening’s Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) concert. The performance was part of the Community Spotlight program, which S-GI students have been fortunate to participate in for many years. After the performance the students enjoyed the BPO and SUNY Fredonia Hillman Opera Program's performance of music from W.A. Mozart’s famous opera “The Magic Flute.” During intermission, the orchestra students had the opportunity to speak with Nikki Chooi, the concertmaster violinist of the BPO.
