The display includes nearly 100 Pan-Am keepsakes – from cups and mugs to paperweights and playing cards – that souvenir manufacturers created for the fair. Learn about the exhibits, the shows, and the people that drew 8 million visitors to our city. Investigate the attractions and turn-of-the-century innovations that still impact Buffalo today.

Sibelius Symphony No. 1 With the BPO

Experience the evocative landscapes of the North as JoAnn Falletta leads the BPO in a concert featuring the vibrant Overture to Ruslan and Ludmila by Glinka, setting a dynamic opening with its lively and spirited melodies. The program then transitions to the contemporary colors of Behzad Ranjbaran’s Violin Concerto, performed by BPO concertmaster Nikki Chooi. Chooi’s interpretation promises to be a deep, soulful exploration of Ranjbaran’s Persian-influenced themes, a testament to the violinist’s technical prowess and emotive depth. The evening culminates with Sibelius’ Symphony No. 1, a masterpiece that conjures the stark beauty and profound solitude of the Finnish landscape. This concert promises an immersive journey through contrasting musical terrains, each piece a reflection of its cultural roots and historical moments.
