The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus seeks a replacement for Dale Adelmann, who is moving.By Bill Raffel, WBFO
Buffalo, NY – The Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus makes plans to find a new music director. Good morning. I'm Bill Raffel with Music Notes.
Last Monday, we heard from Dale Adelmann who is leaving Western New York this for a new position in Beverly Hills, California. Jane Matthias chairs the BPO Chorus' Board of Directors and says Dale will be missed.
While the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus and the Buffalo Philharmonic are separate organizations, Chorus President Jane Matthias says BPO Music Director Joann Falletta will have input into choosing Dale's successor, just as she did with Dale. And thanks to Jane for joining us on Music Notes.

And finally, if you've gone to the Music Department in the Downtown Library over the years, you're in for a shock. There is no longer a separate room for the music collection. Books about music have been moved to the Humanities area, while scores and recordings have been shuffled around with the local history collection. Suffice to say you will have to re-orient yourself to everything. Comment forms are available if you want to share your thoughts about the remodeling with the library management.
