Fun Saturday night at Kleinhans. Had to swap out tickets for a performance we were unable to make and chose Batman in concert. They showed the 1989 blockbuster movie with the philharmonic orchestra playing background music. Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as Riddler. To park in the lots you need to arrive early. Everything is charge cards, no cash accepted. The bar is always open along with the coffee and snack bar. Batman was present to do photos and a nice variety of tee's, posters etc. for sale in the lobby. read more

I'm here a few times a year for the Nat Geo Live series. This venue is terrific. It's easy to get into and out of. Parking is reasonably well organized. Restrooms are huge. Setting is comfortable. You can see the stage and the acoustics are fantastic. A treasure of Buffalo! read more

While I have been to Kleinhans many times over the years, last night was my first performance in the Mary Seaton room. Everyone knows parking here is limited so, arrive early or use the surrounding streets. Since the room only holds about 500, parking wasn't an issue. Kleinhans is always a delight to be in. The gorgeous woodwork is priceless. There was a bar set in the lobby with top shelf liquor and a nice coffee bar with all the expected booze. As most places, no cash accepted on the grounds. The moveable seats were comfortable with ample leg room. I wasn't worried about the acoustics as this was a speaking/comedy event. When it began, something seemed off and within a minute, the speaker was adjusted and the sound was perfect. John Waters had the place in stitches with his offbeat ways and it was a good night in a wonderful atmosphere. read more

I was here to hear a presentation on Sharks. It was presented by the National Geographic Society. Dr. Jess Cramp spoke along with a slide show presentation of the sharks, showing us many different ones, from quite small to very large, and some with many rows of teeth. She has lived in many places, most recently in Nauru, north of the Cook Islands where she also lived and was instrumental in creating the Cook Islands Shark sanctuary read more

Kleinhans Music Hall - Santa "guarding" the donuts at one of the Holiday concerts. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Went for Little Kids 2025 with my granddaughter who is 3. Program started 20 min late because people were not sitting down when asked to. Then when seated finally, adults continued to talk during whole performance. It was a good concept to introduce different instruments to children and the sounds each one makes. First song was old McDonald which was fine and kids enjoyed. But, each instrument was introduced, then a new verse of same song with each. By the second instrument, the kids had lost interest. The whole program was 30 minutes. To make it more interesting, they could have done a few more children's songs or even a short regular piece. I have always enjoyed listening to the BPO and am proud they are part of the community. I do support them often and have always enjoyed listening I was hoping to give my granddaughter a very good first experience. Next time a children's program is offered, I will call for more information on what the song lineup will be. read more

This is, of course, a world-class venue with impeccable acoustics and facilities, and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra compares favorably to the best I've heard throughout the world. On this evening, I got to hear maestro Ron Spigelman conducting a Disney magic performance. Maestro Spigelman brings an energy to this orchestra that is palpable. When CDs and DVDs and canned music just don't do it, Kleinhans Music Hall is the place to go in Western New York. read more

I have come here for 3 events: once when my son was little and did a chorus concert with other children from Germany, once for comedian Theo Vonn, and most recently Cirque de Symphony. All experiences were great. The people who work here do a great job. There's drinks and snacks for purchase as well as on the house downstairs ... the freebies may just be for members I'm not sure (my roommate attends events here all the time and I go downstairs with him). Exiting is quick and easy too. I think parking is $10 and it's very limited so we always park on a side street and walk over. It's a cute neighborhood to walk through. The music is hall is always clean and organized and I love coming to events here. read more

What a lovely opportunity to see Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart and our own Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) this afternoon. As COVID-19 numbers/cases are increasing, Kleinhans & the BPO are taking strict precautions to protect everyone. Concertgoers are required to be fully-vaccinated (and show proof) as well as remain fully masked for the entirety of the performance, except when eating and/or drinking in the Mary Seaton hall. The only disappointment was for the two attendees who blatantly gave no regard to the announcement at the beginning of the show which directed everyone to silence their cell phones and mobile devices. It was embarrassing for Mr. Lockhart to actually stop the performance because of the ring tone (at the quietest part of the piece) but for a second device to interrupt, I'm actually impressed that he didn't simply end the show then & there. He was; however, gracious enough to autograph our program. My mom has been a long-time fan and was thrilled he took a moment to speak with us. read more

This a beautiful venue for all sorts of theatrical performances especially performances by the amazing BPO and traveling groups. I saw straight no chaser in this space and it was amazing! The staff is always very friendly and helpful to. But I can not get over the terrible parking situation here. We arrived into the circle Kleinhans is in almost an hour before the show even began. The streets where already backed up and by the time we slowly crept our way to the parking entrance lots where already full. For a venue that can hold over 2,000 people you think they'd have the parking to support it. Street parking sucks to. Chances are you'll be making a sloppy parallel park about a half mile away from the building if your any later than an hour prior to show time. Arrive very very very very early for shows here! Your feet will thank you! read more

Love Kleinhans, whether for the BPO, other musicians, Babel, etc. As others have mentioned, the acoustics are terrific. A few years before the pandemic, they updated and enlarged the ladies's room in the basement, which is a huge help! Others may not know, but there are also restrooms on the balcony level, and usually less crowded than the ones in the basement level. That they have maintained the use of "Powder Room" and "Men's Lounge" for the restrooms adds to the atmosphere of this architectural treasure. They also updated the seats, which are now just a bit larger than they used to be. Someday, hopefully, they'll reopen the room on the balcony level that tells Kleinhan's story; it's definitely worth your time, and pre-pandemic, was open before and after BPO concerts. If you ever have the opportunity to take a tour, do it; so much of its value is hidden from concertgoers. read more

Attended The Music of Queen as part of the yearly BPO Rocks series last night. The show was EXCELLENT. The lead vocalist Brody Dolyniuk has performed there previously and always put on a great show. For anyone that's not quite sure if a philharmonic orchestra is your cup of tea you should check out the BPO Rock series. That could ease you in and you may be surprised and discover something new to enjoy! The show was a sell out, including standing room so naturally the lines for the rest rooms and bars were long but everyone in our party managed to get back to their seats in time during intermission. The building itself is not overly impressive looking but the acoustic are great and to me that's what's most important in a music venue. You need to check it out. read more

I had never seen Sarah Chang perform in person so this recent visit was a treat. Unlike other violinists I've seen, she had the composure of an Olympic gymnast about to perform a complex floor routine. Sitting in the front row, I kept wanting to give her some hand chalk while she flexed her hands and arms as she readied to play one of my favorites: Brahms' Concerto in D major for Violin and Orchestra. This a very challenging piece and to say that there was quite the athleticism in her approach is an understatement. JoAnn Falletta's orchestra had already demonstrated its prowess in this legendary and acoustically superior hall so they provided muscle behind Ms. Chang's virtuosity. There was the unexpected during her performance, too. Sitting only about 15 feet from her, I watched as she carefully and subtly had to battle a strand of her long hair that hung in the air as she tried to navigate around it with her bow. I've seen musicians and actors deal with all sorts of surprises over the years but have never seen this. (At this point, I could have used some hand chalk because I was anxious for her.) This lone long hair could have disrupted everything but, over what seemed like forever, she carefully and repeatedly blew it away -- like only the stage professional can -- before successfully engaging in one of the most complex sections of the Brahms piece. I won't forget this performance in one of the most well-known venues to hear music anywhere. read more

This is a very nice, old building in Buffalo. I don't have much to say about it though, because to me, it's just another building. It has cracks all over the place, MANY of the lights are out & no one is replacing them . The sound is good inside & the shows can be very nice. I'm just not into all that kind of music. This time, I went there for my son's college graduation. I had to sit in the balcony for the first time. I did not like it up there at all. It was horrible. The restrooms however, are beautiful. A nice little waiting/powder room is there with seating & mirrors. Inside the stalls however, were not as nice. The toilets were full of random stuff & it wasn't very pleasant. read more

Over the years I've had the privilege of visiting Kleinhans many times to attend all manner of events. From Season, to Classical, to Pop and Contemporary, whatever type of performance you're lucky enough to attend here will be a complete treat for your ears! The acoustics in the Hall are nothing short of phenomenal, and the building is even wheel-chair accessible :-) The only downside of this place is parking; it's horrible. Despite that drawback, when you can come here for a performance - you will NOT be sorry! read more

This place is a premiere music hall. The acoustics are fantastic. I went recently to the holiday pops concert and the hall was decorated beautifully. There were different booths set up on the main floor with information, and items for sale. There are also two bars. A well drink is $5 and goes up from there, and wine is $8. The seats are very comfortable and you aren't sitting on top of fellow patrons, which is nice. The coat check is free. There is a restaurant downstairs. The restrooms are great and clean. read more

Kleinhan's is a Great place to hold events to showcase such Beautiful Classical Music (even though I've never seen it there). I've only been here twice, once for hearing a Lecture from the Queen of Italian Cuisine Lidia Bastianich and the other (which I'm proud to say) was an Event Honoring the One and Only Anthony Bourdain (A Cook's Tour). Where the some of the Chefs of Buffalo got together and Orchestrated and created Dishes with Symphonies of Flavor. Dishes and drinks that were inspired by his Worldly Travels, I came with my Dad and my Uncle Rick, we went our Separate ways in there but would meet up time to time, this is how it went Down. The Black Sheep - Spicy Lamb Laap (mixed with Thai Spices) served over rice, on the Sign said: Because we think he would like it. Lamb was Tender, which hints of Chili Powder, Coriander and Tumeric and the Rice was soft but not mushy in the least. Barrel & Brine - Budae-Jjigae (Korean Army based Stew) consisting of a Plethora of Pork based things like Hot Dogs, Pork Belly and Spam along with Kimchi & Ramen in a Hearty Tomato Broth (also some Tums on the Side to ease the Stomach Pain). The Grange Community Kitchen - Chicken Liver Mousse on a Brown Butter Financier topped with Luxardo Cherry. a Soft Bite that was complex and that Cherry on top played well with the Richness of the Mousse. Betty's - Chickpea Curry, my only Vegetarian dish of the Evening, a lot of Spice going on but not too much to be a Burden with some Naan Bread on the side to scoop it up. Heritage Cured Meats - 24 Month aged Prosciutto & Cantaloupe, that matchmaking interplay of Sweet & Salty bound together on curled Pick. Vertical Mauve - (BLT Tartinettes) Slow Roasted tomato Crouton, Bacon Fat Mayonnaise, Julienned Lettuce and Candied Bacon. This Canape mimics the beloved oldy but goody Classic Sandwich with Crispy Bacon, Firm Lettuce, Rich Mayo on lightly toasted Bread. Terrace at Delaware Park - Serrano & Grapefruit Margarita, to take a small break from some bites and partake in a Drink that had Sour notes and Peppery Heat that was restrained that was chilled and refreshing. Public Espresso & Coffee - Strawberry Crullers, Fresh out of the Fryer, these light Pastry that has an egg like Taste at the end, coated with a Vibrant Pink coating of Fresh Strawberries (not my Favorite Fruit) but it was Sweet enough for me to say (that's interesting), one is enough for me as I didn't make wanna go Crull-ing back for more. Black Iron Bystro - Polenta Frites with Malt Vinegar and Basil Aioli, planks of Cornmeal fried until Golden Crisp that was well seasoned with a light Malt Flavor and 3 puddles of Aioli that has that Licorice flavor without it coming on too Strong. Casa Azul - (Ceviche Acapulco), Shrimp marinated in a Spicy Tomato Citrus Juice on a Worm Salt seasoned Tostada with an Avocado/Cricket Puree and Cilantro. One of the Best Presented and highly colorful bites of the Night, Bold Acidic Flavors, Shrimp was Chilled & Tender, although it was hard to eat and it fell apart on the first Bite for me. Churn Soft Serve - Walnut Brownie with Sea Salt Ganache, Ancho Chile Buttercream, Melted Coffee Ice Cream, Cinnamon Waffle Crisp, Coffee Caviar and Spice Dust. This was a Dessert with a lot going on, almost like a Mole vibe going on, the "Caviar" was the Element that stood out the most. SEAR - Steak Frites with Bordelaise, for one of the Best Steakhouses in Buffalo to Honor Anthony for his time at Brasseries Les Halles with Juicy Medium-Rare Meat and Crispy Fries to Boot is Respect at its Finest. Also from Public Espresso & Coffee a drink called The Anthony - which consisted of Cascade Hops, Baked Gaba Tea, Grapefruit, Tamarind and Honey with a Lemon Foam. Must've been for when Anthony was in India, since these are likely Indian Ingredients, It was a Sweet Drink. Oliver's - Macau Pork Cutlet Sandwich with Celery Root Remoulade and Chili Garlic Paste, The Pork that was behind a protective wall of Breading was still Moist, the Chili Paste was bursting with a great amount of Heat but I wish they put a little more Remoulade on to help interact with that Heat. Ballyhoo - Mac n Cheese, out of all the Bites it was the Simplest, Shells coated with a Cheese Sauce. Lait Cru Brasserie - Bone Marrow Crostini topped with a Lemon/Caper sauce, It was more of a Topping than a Sauce and the Capers with their Salty Touch took a Pretty Dominant Role in this Bite (my least favorite of the Night). Billy Club - Passionfruit Gin & Tonic, I've had this drink before and its a bit rough on the Palate with that Bitterness of the Tonic but that Tart Passionfruit made the Drink interesting with each sip I took it invited me back in. Shango Bistro - Pork Belly Taco with Pickled Onion, Slaw, Jalapeno and Remoulade, Last Bite and the Pork had that Mild Creole Rub with the Heat from the Peppers and the Shell was Toasted so it wouldn't cool down the Meat. A lot going on to Honor, 1 Person, Long Live Anthony Bourdain !!! read more

I have been coming to Kleinhans periodically since I was 16. It is such an overlooked blessing to have a music hall like this in Buffalo. Not only is it historic, but they usually put a modern twist on their symphonic concerts. They do renditions of popular songs and artists but also have classical music shows. The holiday pops at Kleinhans is such a fun tradition. I really recommend partaking in future years! The seating is comfortable, there is a bar, candy, and usually some gift stands. One of the other shows I really enjoyed was a Tchaikovsky concert. Try out something different and see a symphony! read more

Great place to see the BPO perform. While parking may give you trouble and Will Call isn't always the most organized line, the acoustics and beauty of the space make up for it. There are lots of fantastic performances here; check the web site for all the relevant information. Recently saw scores of John Williams' being performed on Saturday and it was great to see all the favorite movie scores come alive in such a powerful way. The conductor was fantastic and a great entertainer as well. Can't wait for my next chance to come back to Kleinhans! read more

I love seeing performances at Kleinhans but they really need to update their seating. There's not much room between seats especially if you're tall or even a larger person. The people are always friendly and the bathrooms are clean. Which is another thing that needs updating because to my recollection there's no elevator to the downstairs area where the bathrooms (and restaurant) are located. Feel free to correct me if there is one I've never seen. read more

Kleinhans Music Hall - BPO got me "Hook"-ed! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Where else in Buffalo can you hear live classical music in an architectural masterpiece? Only Kleinhan's. I recently saw a "pops" concert of music from the 70s performed by the BPO and two country singers. Fantastic show. I've also been here many times for field trips during school and even for high school graduations. Acoustics are fabulous and even though I've only ever sat in the back row of the balcony, the view isn't too bad. Tickets prices were fair-- 41.50 for each tickets after taxes and fees. My favorite part is the bathroom line-- most times, bathroom lines for the women are super long and slow, but this one moves quickly. My tip for everyone is to park along a side street-- it's free and there are a lot of 'em! Enjoy! read more

Kleinhans Music Hall - 70s Pops - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I have attended many a concert at the Hall when I lived in town - Having lived out of town for 22 years, traveling around the US and elsewhere, I have always been astounded by the quality of Kleinhans, a fact I took for granted when I lived here. I just had no basis of comparison. The girl, my cousin and I were fortunate to attend a Jon Anderson / Rick Wakeman concert at Kleinhans a short while ago. Parking easily in the large lot, we retrieved our will-call ticks quickly. The audience for this show were older, a bit tipsy, maybe kinda stoned...who knows, yet the ushers and staff were polite, helpful and very kind!. Bars were set up, temporary tables in the main lobby ... staffed by The Friends of the Philharmonic. Very nice older ladies and gents, who dispensed heavy pours, for about $5-$6! Alright!... we helped to fund the venue quite a bit that night... We are big Prog-Rock people, but nothing prepared us for the sweet beauty of Jon's voice as it carried through the hall, enriched by the natural acoustics ( a mix of Reverberation, absorption and diffusion... wood, structure and ceiling). Ohhh how perfect they sounded, Nothing was over the top ... l I had, ( and many in my view) tears in my eyes during certain songs.We sat in the 1st balcony and saw the show perfectly, and of course the sound was exceptional, remarkable! The acoustics were engineered in 1936 on the perfect unchanged violin ( mid-high to high) wave lengths carried to the upper balcony. Today , as in the 1940's, world famous composers, directors and performers marvel at the sound of Kleinhans, which is considered one of the most acoustically perfect halls in the world.... see a show here my friends! We are extremely lucky to still have the famous 2,800 seat Kleinhans music hall open in a city that is at very very best a "mid-market". This venue, as well as a fine philharmonic orchestra, is what lures world class conductors ( Tilson-Thomas) and acts to engage our city!. I know that KMH is a hallmark of the greatness of Buffalo NY!, and at times is a serious draw to tourists who seek the best concert venue! It is not a facade or a brass plaque. Not a photo or a story told by an old-timer.Not a few chairs in the historical museum or on EBay. It is a real, living facility... remember those???? This jewel of of our glorious past IS STILL HERE, and needs to survive. She needs us all to attend....anything.......to keep her grandeur alive and well for generations to come! Our diamond in the ruff. Love it, cherish it , attend it to keep it. Sorry for the righteous drama friends, very out of character. Peace Want More -See Wikipedia: Kleinhans Music Hall was officially opened on October 12, 1940. The building was designed by Eliel Saarinen with his son, Eero Saarinen and "was recognized as one of the greatest concert halls ever built in the United States". It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989. Four months after the city was rocked by the Buffalo riot, on November 10, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King visited Kleinhans and in a speech titled "The Future of Integration" before about 2,500 persons and sponsored by the Graduate Student Association at the University at Buffalo proclaimed: "We are moving toward the day when we will judge a man by his character and ability instead of by the color of his skin") Sorry to get so historyish! read more

Kleinhans is a really great music hall. The building is a great piece of architecture. The inside is very nice too. No matter where you are seated, the acoustics are great. Besides that, you always have a great view at the stage. The seats are comfortable. We usually don't bother with parking in the Kleinhans lot. Parking in the streets around the hall is limited, but very well doable. read more

Acoustically, the KMH bellows with Bose-like fervor, showering the seated masses with clear, booming sound. Technically, there are kinks to be worked out. My cousin's graduation was held here, and I'll be damned if the speakers didn't squeal no less than half a dozen times due to minor feedback issue. If you're a music hall, then have the on-staff expertise to man a board during any ceremony. It only makes sense to boast your venue's potential. Aesthetically, you're transported to the horrific 70s/80s transitional period, where hippies discovered blow and decided to geometrically assess their acid trips. It feels, and looks, like someone is blowing a brick and mortar bubble in a bowling alley. Minus the blacklight and horrific nachos. Germanically, it's Kleinhans, yah? Would be a four save the inescapable fact that the planners decided a sizable music hall would serve the public well with a 40 car parking lot in a city lousy in public transportation. Raze some lots, and raise some lots dammit! read more

I've decided that I love Kleinhan's! Imagine my surprise when I went to wedge my behind in the seat and alas nothing needed to wedge. The seat was plenty big for my curvy carcass! Yes!!!! +2 stars (this was a very big deal, compared to Shea's narrow seats that made me so uncomfortable for 2+ hours!) Then, once seated (on the aisle, yay!) I had a great view of the show! Is there a bad seat here?? I've had seats in the balcony on most visits in the past and the view was still good! +1.5 The excellent acoustics (+1.5) added to the enjoyment of the concert- Il Volo with the BPO. Il Volo is like the young version of The Three Tenors. I just love those 3 boys and their exquisite voices! It was such an enjoyable show- the performance, the view, and the spacious seats! The show started at 8pm and my mom and I got down there around 7:20pm. There was no lot parking available. We had to park down Jersey Street, near Fargo. My iPhone map app indicated that it was an 8 minute walk to the amphitheater. That seemed about right. I didn't have a problem with the walk, but my elderly mother was not wild about it. Minus 1 star! It'd be great if valet parking was available. My mom said she would pay even $20 to have the car parked and to not have to walk. That's something even for the BPO to consider with fundraising efforts. 90% of the crowd was 60+ and I can't imagine that many of them were wild about having to park and walk in either. A valet would be a GREAT amenity at this concert venue. Regardless of parking issues, I'm so glad I was reacquainted with Kleinhan's for a wonderful concert and my 600th review! I will be back! read more

Kleinhans Music Hall - I've always LOVED a good boy band! Il Volo! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Buffalo, New York

I came here for a Sunday afternoon BPO concert. My husband and I decided to take a chance on seats that were second-cheapest on Kleinhans' pricing scale, and were happy to find that the seats-middle balcony, and off to one side-were pretty good. The view made it seem like we were only sitting slightly off-center. I'm not an architecture buff, but I like the look of the main concert space. It's understated, but attractive. There were a lot of empty seats, so if you're willing to risk it, you might try buying one of the less expensive seats, and then move closer if there's room, either right before the performance starts, or during intermission. I didn't notice this at first, but my husband pointed it out at intermission: the brass section was loud, but the violins were really soft in comparison. It might have been intentional, either the way the pieces were written, or how BPO conductor JoAnn Falletta chose to interpret the pieces, but we also wondered if our seats were also a factor. This wasn't a huge issue, or else we would have tried different seats during the second half, but maybe your acoustic experience will vary depending on where you're sitting. While we can't afford to become Kleinhans regulars, we were glad to finally attend an event in the space, and to experience JoAnn Falletta conducting, since she's one of the few female conductors of a major American orchestra. read more

A Buffalo icon, this beautiful building is something to behold. The large outdoor fountain is a must walk-by in the summertime, and if you have not been inside and heard a concert or lecture, you are missing out. The best thing I saw there was a Star Wars themed concert around Mother's Day a few years ago (ore-pandemic). I took my mom who was visiting and she had the night of her life- so did I! The acoustics are marvelous, the atmosphere perfect and the skill of the BPO unmatched. I have also gone to the Babel series there, and listening to world renowned authors in that setting was such a special event I got to hear the wonderful Toni Morison several years ago, and that was a lecture that changed my life. The. only issue with this place is the bathrooms- created many years ago and not updated enough, there is always a line for the ladies rooms s with any other place in there world, but if you don't run down right then intermission starts, you might miss the show when it's your turn to go! So be aware- make sure you go before the show! read more

I enjoyed the "Celtic Woman " show tonight. Kleinhans Music Hall was great. I am handicapped " have to use scooter", my seating was at the back, behind the railing, which separates me from the other people. I was usher to my spot, and they ask me if I needed anything. She made sure that I got my program. The only thing that they needed for handicapped people was something to open the front glass doors. Some other patron's took the effort to help get me in . For your information there is no taking of photographs or recordings of show . Parking was a little problem, and I do not blame Kleinhans for not having enough parking for handicap needs. I would recognize that you get there at least 1 - 1/2 hours before the show. I am going back to see a Christmas show in December 2018. read more

So I finally came back to one of my favorite architectures in Buffalo for a Graduation. The first time I came here was probably back when I was in grammar school, and then two years ago for different graduation. I just love the inside of this hall, especially the lights and the stage is so beautifully designed. Its very spacious inside the main stage, but when there is a crowd like there is during a graduation it can get a bit annoying trying to get out. Well, it happens in every hall so that isn't a big deal. I never attended any concerts here, but I heard they were good so I will have to check it out one day. I really the downstairs area, and the bathrooms are very nice and spacious. I have never been to the bar area, or even know where it is but I will have to try that too. read more
