From the Chair of the Music Department
The Music Department enthusiastically announces the appointment of Joseph Peters as the second music director of the Buffalo State Philharmonia orchestra. Peters replaces Paul Ferington, founding director, who led the orchestra for the past six years.
An oboist and conductor, Peters was recently named principal oboe of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra following a season as acting principal. Originally from Minnesota, he was an oboe fellow with the New World Symphony for three years, during which time he performed extensively in Miami Beach, Florida, and conducted multiple performances at the New World Symphony.
The Philharmonia orchestra is composed of Buffalo State music majors, non-music majors, faculty members, professional area musicians, local music educators, and community enthusiasts who are committed to performing the symphonic repertoire at a high level. All members of the campus community are welcome to audition.
