There are many ways to contribute!

Revenue from ticket sales covers approximately half of Buffalo Choral Arts Society’s expenses for the year. As a 501(c)(3), non-profit organization, we rely on donations from generous patrons and supporters to maintain our operating budget and pay for music and venue expenses.

Program Ads

BCAS performs four marquee concert events each year. We offer businesses, organizations, and faithful supporters the opportunity to purchase program ads for these concerts. In total, programs are distributed to more than 3,000 potential concertgoers.

Every purchase of a full-page ad includes four tickets to your choice of one concert—an $80 value. Half- or quarter-page ads include two tickets.
