​

Fall 2024- 35 years making a difference in Buffalo/Niagara...

​

The EHJ Memorial Fund, Inc. for Opera continues its mission, supporting opera and performers throughout the community for you and our talented musical organizations.
We created and sponsor the Buffalo/WNY Vocal Alert, a community service found on the web and
Facebook, listing classical and operatic vocal performances in WNY/Ontario.

We give grants for performances to local opera companies, and gift children tickets to local opera
productions. We offer a yearly scholarship to a deserving young singer, and created Singing it Forward, our own Opera outreach educational program for children and adults.
 

Celebrate World Opera Day is October 25th. We are excited to continue promoting our amazing musical organizations for the whole month of October, in WNY/Ontario!
We call it Celebrate Opera-Tober.
Please go to www.celebrateoperawny.org for complete listings.
 

This year, we sponsored performances by Buffalo Opera Unlimited, Nickel City Opera,
Opera Lytes, Chopin Singing Society, Niagara Arts & Cultural Center and Opera Volunteers International,  the Metropolitan Opera Great Lakes District Auditions,
and Opera Day at the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center.
