A Musical Feast

Shared Sounds

A Musical Feast was founded in 2006 by retired Concertmaster of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Charles Haupt. It’s enlightened programming melds contemporary and classical music with poetry and dance in a setting featuring locally- and internationally acclaimed musicians and artists. 

We are looking forward to our new season .

About A Musical Feast

Following the success of “Remembering Lukas Foss” in 2008, A Musical Feast was well on its way to becoming a cultural leader in Buffalo music performance. In February 2009, the Burchfield Penney Art Center began collaborating on a series of concerts that have continued until the 2019-2020 season. Of the Burchfield concerts, “The Buffalo News” wrote, “If the programming and concertizing for ‘A MUSICAL FEAST’ continue to be as interesting as the initial offering was, it might become one of Western New York’s cultural jewels.” And it has!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF CHARLES HAUPT

In 2006, my husband Charles Haupt and I began our musical odyssey hosting “A Musical Feast,” embarking on a journey that fuses classical music, contemporary music and storytelling. All musical events will be in loving memory of Charles He will be here in spirit. He left us August 18 2024, after many grueling years of painful dialysis, MS and many more health problems.
