The Musical Heritage Society (MHS) is a group of BPO patrons who have expressed an interest in supporting the Philharmonic after their lifetime through Planned Giving.
If you have already named the Buffalo Philharmonic in your will or estate plans, we would like to have the opportunity to thank you and invite you to be a member of the MHS and include you in future events.
We are pleased to list the current members herein because they have realized the importance of “the gift that keeps giving.” Each of these individuals or couples have made provisions for a contribution to the BPO in their estate plans and while there are many different methods, the most common is by adding the BPO as a beneficiary in one’s will.
